About

One of the most acclaimed cycles of the Vaughan Williams symphonies, among the 20th century’s greatest, was set down by André Previn and the London Symphony Orchestra in the 1960s. On its previous reissue, ClassicsToday.com ranked it “arguably the best such offering on the market today”. Penguin Guide called No. 3 “an outstandingly beautiful and refined performance”. In praising No. 5, MusicWeb International exclaimed: “The great inner strength and glories of this music are revealed here by fabulously eloquent playing.” Reviewing No. 7, the “Sinfonia Antarctica”, Gramophone wrote that Previn “demonstrated that this is an intense, even a tough, work … For once the sequential first movement, very slow and concentrated, seems an aptly monumental opening with playing from the LSO of superb quality.” The magazine also declared its preference for Previn’s “thoughtful, sensitive and rounded performance” of the Eighth. This is an indispensable set.
