Vaughan Williams: Symphonies Nos 5 and 8 – The Hallé, Sir Mark Elder

The Hallé continues its award-winning survey of British music under its Music Director, Sir Mark Elder, with a second volume of works by Vaughan Williams. Symphony No. 5 is a tranquil work influenced by Ravel, with whom Vaughan Williams had studied, and is scored for very traditional forces. Symphony No. 8 is the shortest of Vaughan Williams’s symphonies and, whilst not being without moments of sombre mood, generally light-hearted in tone. It is dedicated to Sir John Barbirolli and was premiered by the Hallé in 1956.

"...I would recommend it unreservedly"

Rob Cowan - Gramophone magazine - May 2013


                    Recording of the Month
 
"Mark Elder’s is the most satisfying performance of RVW’s Symphony 5 that I’ve heard. Why? For me it’s because he gets the tempi just right. He isn’t afraid to be unhurried and yet at the same time a flowing, forward pulse is always apparent. You get a sense of smooth evolution and natural progression. This is balanced with clarity of structure. You also realize how much of an open air symphony this is. The Hallé’s playing and the recording are also very fine and therefore the whole atmosphere is bright, shining, luminous... The glory of this CD from Elder is that it offers a consistent and sustained appreciation of the reflective aspects of these RVW symphonies."

                  Performance (No 5) *****     (No 8) ****       Recording ****

"Mark Elder’s way with Vaughan Williams’s Fifth Symphony is one of those interpretations that grows with repeated hearings. As expected from the current Hallé vintage, it’s finely played in every department ... "

Malcolm Hayes - BBC Music magazine - May 2013
