My comments are very brief. It was astute of EMI to lure old hands who already own multiple versions of the nine symphonies with the fine but lesser known cycle under Vernon Handley. The alternative was the much reissued one under sir Adrian Boult, the composer's friend, sometime dedicatee, and quintessential interpreter. As authoritative as Boult is, Handley runs close behind. Even better would have been for EMI to pick and choose among their stable of RVW conductors, including Barbirolli and Haitink, to select the best version of each work.

The singers chosen for the song cycles and choral songs are close to ideal, and for me it's gratifying that older tenors (Tear, Rolfe Johnson, Partridge) were chosen over Ian Bostridge, despite his fame and enthusiastic fan base. It was a serious misstep, however, to skip over the version of Dona Nobis Pacem, perhaps the most profound of RVW's choral works, sung by Bryn Terfel and Yvonne Kinney under Hickox. Sancta Civitas from the same forces would also have been preferable.

I am not a fan of RVW's operas, and neither are record companies, so these performances are the cream of the crop, on the whole. Riders to the Sea is almost a literal transcription of Synge's play and holds my interest. So does Pilgrim's Progress, but less so in the complete opera format; there's a radio broadcast featuring the best music and a gripping narration of Bunyan's text that works better -- seek out either the BBC wartime broadcast or a reproduction in modern sound narrated by John Gielgud.

Least known among the major orchestral works is probably the various concertos for oboe, tuba, piano, and piano duet. These are almost never played in the U.S. but circulate in British concerts, where all of RVW's music is a staple. I wouldn't say that any repay devotion, but the oboe and tuba concertos are the most popular.

In all, the super budget price at Amazon factors out to about the same as four or five mid-priced records, a small outlay if you have room on your shelf for the whole set. I don't tend to reach into big collector's sets once I buy them, but there's no arguing against the quality of what we have hear.
