Sir Adrian Boult, Ralph Vaughan Williams.... What more needs to said.

I searched around for a good version of this that goes at a proper speed, with the right umph on bass cello, that also has the volume set properly so you can actually HEAR it. Finding this video; SEARCH ENDED. This is the ultimate version - on youtube at least, thanks for putting this up.

This is the fourth time I've seen this exact interchange. Piss off, ghosts.

One must think well of a world, No matter how dreadful, how dreary, ....Where such wonders can exist

Amen to that my friend

[@billrea66]

Put on your headphones , close your eyes ,up the volume, and get lost in this piece ...

[@phil153]

One of my favorite classical selections

Eloquent. ♥️

I have this performance and love it. In truth, I had just heard The Lark Ascending on a long flight by a nice chamber orchestra and couldn't endure it. It had been so long since I'd heard the Lark that I needed to derive its origin (successfully). So I searched for this piece just to confirm that I still like it, and I do.

[@samwallaceart288]

7:30, and 7:47 where the violin joins in, I swear that's the riff from "The Lark Ascending". Nice tie-in

Real good English classical music example.

I love this recording, but what is its exact source? I recently received an EMI Classics CD, red-ish orange colored with UPC 077776401720, but it seems to be a different recording as the timings don’t match. It’s Adrian Boult and the LPO, but apparently different.

[@martingregory161]

I believe this is the version Boult recorded with the LPO that was released on the Lyrita label in 1970 (not sure, but the recording may have been from 1968). You can search Discogs for the original vinyl LP (with Rubbra's Symphony No7; label number SRSC 41), and it also looks to be on a Lyrita compilation CD (SRCD336).

[@blakeburton3137]

Thanks!

[@richardr.palmer2646]

Boult probably recorded it several times. I (at15) heard it for the first time in. 1957 and had the proper, customary, inevitable BLOWN MIND in a Boult recording from a few years earlier. Since he was a close collaborator with. RVW I betcha they'd done in it in the 78 rpm ear too....

[@frankinbolton]

When was this performed? Late 70's? Wonderful! Thanks for posting

[@2ndviolinist]

It's either 1970 or '76. Not in the same league as his 1940/BBC recording.
