Rhapsody

Ralph Vaughan Williams once wrote to conductor Adrian Boult, "You got the score right into you and through you into the orchestra," and Boult has been the premier interpreter of the composer's works ever since. He recorded classic versions of these works earlier in mono for Decca; this box set, recorded in stereo between 1967 and 1975, collects Boult's conducting of Vaughan Williams' symphonic works, an uneven and sprawling mass that nonetheless contains a number of timeless classics, including the charming "Serenade to Music" and the bombastic "Sea Symphony."
