Beschrijving

Marcus Farnsworth (baritone), Elizabeth Llewellyn (soprano), & BBC Symphony Orchestra & BBC Symphony Chorus, Martyn Brabbins

One of the mightiest of first symphonies, Vaughan Williams’s setting of Walt Whitman creates a very special sense of occasion. The coupling is more Whitman: RVW’s later, virtually unknown Darest thou now, O soul for chorus and strings.

Vaughan Williams:
Symphony No. 1 'A Sea Symphony'
Darest thou now, O soul

"The BBC Symphony Orchestra makes its own vividly virtuosic contribution, not least in the scherzo movement, ‘The waves’; credit is due also to Martyn Brabbins, in expert control of the work’s internal balance and its dramatic pacing, and to the production team in Blackheath Concert Halls."
