Music reviews of Vaughan Williams: The Nine Symphonies [Box Set]

Music Review: A safe recommendation
Rating: 5 Stars

Not for nothing has this Previn set received consistently-praising reviews. While Boult and other English interpreters preferences may come down to one's tolerance of their style, with Previn the music is allowed to flow. That's not to take down Boult or the others. Sir Adrian's EMI readings of Nos.3 and 5 are more than a match for Previn's, but with this set you get consistently wonderful performances in ALL the symphonies and extras. This may indeed be one of the most perfect sets ever.
