The recording is a deeply expressive and romantic interpretation. The Serenade to Music was commissioned by Sir Henry Wood for his Jubilee Concert in 1938 to celebrate his 50 years as a conductor. It is one of the sweetest, most beautiful of all Vaughan William’s works.Also on this recording is the Pilgrim’s Journey, arranged by Roy Douglas and a bonus disc features Vaughan Williams talking about the teachings of Parry and Stanford as well as a short extract from the funeral service of Vaughan WilliamsThis recording has been brilliantly re-mastered by Peter Reynolds.
