Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Andrew Manze

Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 5 in D major
Vaughan Williams: Symphony No. 6 in E minor

"The clarity of the orchestral sound, especially in the pointillistic orchestration of the Fifth, is compelling (the Scherzo in particular, whose tempo Manze gives an extra injection of adrenalin)…[The Scherzo of the Sixth] this is virtuoso stuff, splendidly handled by conductor and orchestra…Any lover of Vaughan Williams as a symphonist will find this recording exceptionally rewarding." - Gramophone Magazine April 2018
