Free Music Notes for Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5/Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Free Music Review: atmosphere and poise in this rendition.......
Hit: 5 Stars
Vaughan Williams composed works which Anglophiles can readily relate to, supported as they are by English folk music themes, medieval refrains and particularly 'English' musical structures such as early Middle English psalms and chorales. I first heard this recording on Australia's ABC Classical FM, and the presenter echoed my immediately favourable impression, commenting positively on the sensitive interpretation offered by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. The Fantasia is played in a reverent and very integrated fashion, with superb tension. I own earlier versions of this work, and can report that this playing is both atmospheric and poised by comparison. It is especially pleasing to see it coupled with the Tallis piece "Why Fum'th in Fight?', sung so delicately by the orchestra's chamber chorus and offering a prelude thereby to the Fantasia itself. The recording is well complemented by the Symphony no.5 in D major which serves as a further offering of insight into this composer's music. The Hybrid multi-channel CD recording quality is transparent and very well defined, and should amply reward listeners with SACD players.
