Description:

The third installment of Martin Brabbins' RVW! Symphony Cycle features Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4! The third volume of Brabbins' Vaughan Williams Cycle, which made a splash with its 1920 version of the London Symphony (CDA 68190), combines Symphony No. 3 (Rural Symphony) and No. 4. Both Volumes 1 and 2 have included Vaughan Williams' little-known orchestral works side by side, and this time the cantata for tenor, chorus, and orchestra, Sarabande "Helen," which was composed around 1913-14 but was unfinished and unpublished. The text of Christopher Marlowe's play "The Tragedy of Dr. Forstas" is used for the lyrics. Volume 1 was highly acclaimed by Record Arts Magazine's "Overseas Disc REVIEW" and both Volumes 1 & 2 were selected as "Editor's Choice" by Gramophone magazine in the UK, making this a highly sought-after RVW cycle.Brabbins fans and British music fans, check it out!
