Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Vaughan William Nine Symphonies
I reported the CDs were not rec;d within 2 months' time. Then soon a new package was resent immnediately and I rec'd the goods within several days. This is quite different with the response from Import CDS when I was under the same circumstances. No further action was taken after reporting the lost of the delivery. I think this was irresponsible and seemed an act of cheating. Therefore I placed another new order to Amazon because Amazon gives me confidence.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of England's finest composers
It's safe to say that Ralph Vaughan Williams is one of the finest British composers alongside Holst, Elgar, Britten, and Bax. His nine symphonies are pure proof of his genius: they're lovely, haunting, lyrical, intense, hot-blooded, ethereal, etc. Maestro Andre Previn leads the London Symphony Orchestra & Chorus with perfect control; no one misses a step. Sound quality is first-rate, and booklet is quite informative. This box set gets an A from me.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 9 Symphonies - ralph Vaughan Williams
Wonderful recordings. I remember seeing Andre Previn discussing and performing these on television. Couldn't have done better. Many thanks.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Good Bargin Set
First of all I agree with the other reviewers this set of RVW's Symphonies
is a very fine set. There are a few works I would have liked to see in it, but I can always get them on another bargin CD. The performances that really stand out here are " A Sea Symphony", The "London Symphony", and the "Sinfonia Antartica" The rest of the Symphonies all recieve impressive
perfomances by Andre Previn and the LSO and the LSC, and a fine line up of
soloists. Some reviewers complained about the narration in the "Sinfonia
Antartica" and said they prefer it just with the music, but I feel that
Sir Ralph Richardson's narration adds so much to the general mood of the
work, while the music can certainly stand on its own. I have to wonder though why this work is not better ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Best for Less(t)
I agree with all the other reviewers here - this set is fantastic and you really can't beat the price. I've had it for over a year now and I love every piece. Admittedly, I am not a classical music perfectionist - I cannot compare the quality of these recordings to the other 400 different recorded versions available today - but these performances are very fine, the sound is great, it's in a nice package, and it's ridiculously cheap. Plus, it's Vaughan Williams. If you're worried about accessibility of the music, I think it's worth giving it a shot. Symphonies 1,2,7, and 8 are pretty easy to get into. That's not to say that VW is boring or tame. He was a master composer and colorist and his music is continually fascinating. When I listen to his music, I feel two things: 1.) he had a ... Read More
