Vaughan Williams: (2CD) Lark Ascending, Tallis Fantasia, Greensleeves, Variations on Dives and Lazarus

Enjoy listening to these cds.To me the music evokes the countryside and nature.Very pleasant,recommend.

Relaxing and moving that's not a contradiction. Enjoying this cd

Great collection of favorites but the recordings are so quiet they have to be played at double volume. You end up with a lot of distortion and background hiss. Will be looking for better elsewhere.

Everything you would want as in introduction to Vaughan Williams is here and it sounds fabulous. Whilst not my favourite recording of "The Lark Ascending", its still a treat and more than compensated for by the magnificent recordings of the "English Folk Suite" and "Oboe Concerto".Disc 2 is just a sheer delight from start to finish. Every track is sublime and you couldnt ask for a better selection of Vaughan Williams on 2 discs. The only comparison I can draw is the "Abba Gold" collection. Thats how good Vaughan Williams and this cd is. Just buy it and enjoy England's finest composer. It makes my day better whenever I put it on.

One of the best compilations from one of the composers that often sails under the radar. Fabulous music, try to listen it on as high quality HiFi as your budget affords because extra fidelity lifts this masterpiece considerably. The best is left to last , the final track on side 2 , Fantasia - Tallis is a stunning piece of music.

Excellent recording

Superb renditions of Vaughan William’s prolific talent.

Nice to have all this in one package - feel the Lark Ascending is taken a little too fast
