SIR JOHN BARBIROLLI
conducting the
HALLE ORCHESTRA and CHOIR
with MARGARET RITCHIE solo soprano.

No date on the record. Early Fifties.
I would imagine it's the first recording of the piece.

  • Los compositores eslavos, franceses, nordicos, italianos,alemanes clasico solian transmitir emociones, aunque las estructuras musicales de sus obras fuesen enmarcadas en esuemas cerebrales. Los compositores ingleses no:son frios,neuronales.Esta obra es diferente:apela a la emocion y por eso es profundamente humana. Si no es la mejor sinfonia de Williams es -para mi-la mas emocional,casi episodica,incidental ,cercana a las vivencias humanas. Y el scratch del LP adiciona las sensaciones .

  • I agree.

  • bet that dog is def now!

  • I love this version. But does anyone know which recording was produced, with Sir Ralph Richardson giving introductions to each section, with poems and writings from the doomed explorers? I believe it was Sir Ralph, or possible John Gielgud. It was amazing. Thank you.

  • You can't hear this without visions of Cptn. Scott's Expedition and vise-versa. As to whether it ranks with Vaughan Williams' other works- now THATS a hard one...

    "Great God, this an awful place"

    (As the quote goes).

    The Penguin sequence was instantly recognisable.

  • i'm doing about this in school!

    but we're doing the Liverpool philamonic orchestra version.

    but both versions are beautiful.

  • This is really the best performance of this piece!

    It sounds both like film-music and symphonic music.

    This piece needs extraversion, and symphonic power.

    This makes me cry!
