I loved that. Ralph Vaughan Williams (he'd say 'Rafe', reflecting its Welsh origins) once lived but a few streets from here, on the English east coast. I was wrong to assume his music to be too bucolic/British to travel well ​- and what a thrill to hear it ringing out in north Texas! Throughout that fine performance, conductor Itkin always chose precisely the right tempi and dynamics, IMHO.

Jeff, I was looking for a version of this work to forward to a friend & was pleasantly surprised to find yours. Then I listened & was overwhelmed! Just stunning- cheers!

It was as a beautiful way for me to begin my morning, thank you! Really gorgeous...

beautiful music but filming of it not very good perhaps the filmmakers should have learned the music to know where to point the camera.

Or just attend the dress rehearsal so they know what is coming up and which parts should be filmed when.
