Am delighted with the Vaughan Williams CD
Although the CD was released some time ago it sounds good. Thomas Allen sings the solo part of 5 Mystical Songs wonderfully. Unlike some interpretations there is no hint of 'mannered'singing----sometimes characterising baritone performances in earlier recordings.

VW Serenade - a true masterpiece
Seldom heard, mainly because of the extraordinary number of solo singers it employs, the Serenade to Music was a revelation. Well recorded and nicely matched selection of pieces on this disc. VW at his emotional best.

A majestic recording
Recordings like this does not come around too often. This is a truly fantastic recording and a must have for Christmas.The first track is Serenade to Music with 16 solo voices. To make this piece truly magical you need the best 16 solos to sing it. Hyperion have truly delivered they have bought in some of the Big names of British Singers of our Time to sing it. e.g. Some of the great singers include Thomas Allen, Gwynne Howell, Arthur Davies, Sarah Walker, Amanda Roocroft and many more of our great singers.The rest of the recording is sung by the superb Thomas Allen. This is a must have CD for your collection.
