Celebrated as the musical poet of the English landscape, Vaughan Williams was also a visionary composer of enormous range: from the pastoral lyricism of The Lark Ascending and the still melancholy of Silent Noon to the violence of the Fourth Symphony and the grand ceremonial of All people that on earth do dwell, he assumed the mantle of Elgar as our national composer. This edition, released to mark the 50th anniversary of his death, presents all the major orchestral, chamber, vocal and stage works, as well as many lesser pieces and rarities, in the finest interpretations. All your favourite Vaughan Williams is here, in over 34 hours of music on 30 CDs

“A convincing and deeply moving showcase… exceptional value… it’s scope breathtaking. This is the essential set, and if you're at all drawn to VW you might as well buy the whole damn show now - because sooner or later you're going to anyway.” BBC Music Magazine, July 2008 *****
