    I just acquired a set of all his symphonies on Naxos with Kees Bakels conducting the Bournemouth Symphony. I believe the entire set is being offered in the US for $29.95, not a bad deal at all.

    That's a very good price.

    My own favourite version of RVW # 7 is by Bernard Haitink. I'm still waiting for Richard Hickox to complete his Vaughan Willams cycle with the LSO, only # 7 to finish with and I've loved all his versions.

    NP : DONA NOBIS PACEM - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    A cantata divided into six pieces written for soloists, choir and orchestra and it's absolutely gorgeous, yet another RVW work I want to familirise myself with more.

    Of course I have the Gamba/BBC Philharmonic recording on Chandos of the film version. The timing is very close by the way, within a minute. In my LP's there is a Boult recording also.

    You are absolutely right Tom, I was surprised to find out the tempo with the film version was nearly spot on.


    NP : FANTASIA ON THE OLD 104th PSALM - Ralph Vaughan Williams



    London Philharmonic Choir & Orchestra with Peter Katin on piano, conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.

    Beautiful.

  6. Timmer, which piece should I start my adventure with RVW with? I'm not familiar with the composer yet, but I am very keen to start being!

    cool beer

    Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis

    The Lark Ascending

    Symphony # 3 'Pastoral'

    Symphony # 5

    Symphony # 7 'Antarctica'

    In fact, you should be able to get box set with all 9 symphonies for cheap which include other great works besides.

    I believe there are box sets by Adrian Boult, Bernard Haitink and Vernon Handley and all are great. For modern recordings go for Haitink's and Handley's.

    See also Tom's post a few posts back for the set he bought. NAXOS are a brilliant and very affordable label.

    I'd add English Folk Song Suite to that list... trust me, those melodies will stay with you for life. (That particular work is RVW in fun, bombastic mode and is probably familiar ground for a score fan.)

    NP: Albertine - Brooke Fraser

    An amazing and lovely singer/songwriter from New Zealand.


    She has a very lovely voice, Brooke. Her songs tend not to work so well when others sing them, which I think says something about her unique sound. (Though I've never met her, she actually goes to my church.)


    Wow, that's cool. Does she ever sing at your church? Must be a big place, I can't really imagine since I go to a very small church, yours must be a very large one. smile How fun.

    Sorry; let me clarify: I played/performed the work a couple of years ago. As in, I actually played the first horn part in band (which was fun). wink

    She does sing at the church, yeah. The church is reasonably well known for its music, which has something to do with her. (Ever heard of Hillsong?)


    NP: Tours de Monde / Tours de Ciel (Delerue)

    Magnificent romantic composition for an observatory exhibition about the stars.

    For American music one could cast a vote for Howard Hanson. I just purchased this fine 5 CD Mercury Living Presence Stereo set from Berkshire. http://www2.broinc.com/search.php?row=0 … filter=all

    Hanson is a superb composer, I would have taken a lot longer to dicover him if not for the use of his 2nd symphony in the film ALIEN.

    A childhood favourite of mine.

    It's a great piece of music though it took me years before I could play it after Torvil and friggin Dean used it for they're ice skating daftiness slant

  28. I've recently fallen in love with Ravel's Spanish Rhapsody, an incredible work.

    NP: Slow Food (Elena Katz-Chernin)

    One of Australia's most famous female composers. This album consists of solo piano works. No austere classicism here - it's all tuneful and enjoyable. 'Phoenix Story' is probably the strongest work, with her piano-only version of 'Eliza Aria' and 'Road to Harvest Show' also highlights.

    Rapsodie Espagnole is lovely smile beer


    NP : FORWARDS - The Egg



    Not a single bad track on this album, and some of the best chill out music you'll hear. Highly recommended to anyone who loves Zero 7.

    I've seen them live a few times. As a band they're live set just blows you away, its a very raw vibrant and cooking sound that's totally at odds with the produced studio 'chill out' sound of the album.
