composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams

The question is not "Is Bernard Haitink's cycle of the symphonies of Vaughan Williams the best digital set of the symphonies?" The answer to that question is an emphatic yes. Haitink's technique is beyond reproach and his interpretations are not only overwhelmingly passionate, they are deeply poetic and profoundly musical. The London Philharmonic, ...

composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams

Adrian Boult recorded Ralph Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony twice, first for Decca in 1952, then for EMI in 1968. Both recordings are classics for their respective eras, and each has its devout admirers. The later stereo recording has enjoyed a steady run in reissues for EMI, since it has better sound quality than the earlier mono version, which ...

Anybody who loves the orchestral music of English composer Edward Elgar -- the brilliant Enigma Variations, the passionate Violin Concerto, the heartrending Cello Concerto, the magnificent symphonies, the spectacular overtures, and the virtuosic Bach and Handel transcriptions -- will sooner or later have to deal with his three sacred oratorios: ...

composed by George Frederick Handel

The genre of Semele has always been somewhat ambiguous. Handel used an opera libretto by William Congreve for his text, but at its premiere he presented it as an oratorio. Its secular, dramatic story is certainly operatic, but its music includes stylistic elements of both Handel's English sacred oratorios and his Italian operas, so it's ...
