mapman, My first choice is Hugh Beam with Boult, the original conductor ." The Essential Vaughan Williams" on Warner classic Very close is the great Scottish violinist (never mind her name} Nicola Benedetti with Andrew Litton - forget the label but easy to find . Iona Brown with Neville Marriner on Argo is also a heart breaker . |
" O' Holy Night" sung better than any I have heard , in lovely Swedish. https://youtu.be/ofKk_Etapq4?t=2 Merry Christmas All ! |
Indeed it is ! On every piece he wrote on the top of the page was"To the Glory of God" . God has no time . He stood his ground if in life . But he knew the words of the Greatest Christian Theologian , St. Augustin ." The essence of Humility is having a true knowledge of yourself, both the good as well as the bad" . Bach said , "Anyone could do what I do if they worked as hard as I do." I assume he was referring to other musicians and was not kidding . |
This one can and does raise the dead ! Greatest piece ever written by man. https://youtu.be/IhYPBRedFnI?t=1 |
