Vaughan Williams: Serenade to Music, etc / Wood, BBC SO

Notes & Reviews:

"[This recording] brings a most striking discrepancy of pace with modern performances. The first movement alone takes over three minutes less than in most latter-day recordings. The not-so-slow introduction may lack mystery but there has never been a more passionate account of the work than this on record... The Dutton Laboratory transfers are outstandingly true to the originals." -Penguin Guide
