Description

Bernard Haitink's acclaimed complete Vaughan Williams cycle with the London Philharmonic Orchestra stands as one of the finest modern accounts of the nine symphonies — structurally clear, idiomatic, and beautifully played. An stellar cast including Felicity Lott, Ian Bostridge, and Amanda Roocroft elevates the vocal works, while The Lark Ascending and Tallis Fantasia make this seven-disc EMI Classics set a comprehensive survey of essential English repertoire.

This is a used CD. The disc and case have been inspected and are in good condition. Broken or damaged jewel cases will be replaced before dispatch.
