12 October 2022 will mark the 150th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ birth

- A concentration of absolute masterpieces by the best-known British symphonist!
- Ideal performance by his compatriots BBC SO under the baton of Sir Andrew Davis with the participation of Tasmin Little.
- A must-have!

“Sir Andrew lives and breathes this music as to the manner born and takes his beloved BBC SO on a moving journey from shadowy darkness to blazing light. With sumptuous sound this is easily the best "modern" version in the catalogue.”
Gramophone
