Vaughan Williams! (Random Reviews from the Overflow Room)

- There was a time when I became rather obsessed with Vaughan Williams' music, as you can plainly see. In particular, I was amazed that a composer who was so prolific, communicative, and often inspired could be so little known, relatively speaking. At least he was generously recorded.

Happy Birthday brother!!! Love you, Dan
Thanks Dan. Love you back!
Thanks Dave for another splendid talk - one can never have enough RVW - seems like your collection of this great composer completely mirrors my own! Happy Birthday and thanks a million for all you do to promote an interest in the wonderful world of classical music. Oh, and the occasional visitations by Finster and Mildred are additional delightful bonuses!
Many thanks!
Happy Birthday Dave, and many happy returns of the day.
Thanks very much!
RVW's music is so addictive. So are DH's videos. Happy Birthday! 🎉
Thank you.
Happy Birthday - your recommendations have changed my life and buckled my shelves. Eternally grateful. Apropos RVW Karajan conducted the Tallis Fantasia three times in the 1970s - I would love to know if anyone has a tape if it was broadcast.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday! I had a similar experience with Vaughan Williams. Once I moved beyond the familiar Fantasia by buying some CDs with other music-symphonies, Job, the great choral works, etc. I thought two things: 1. Why is this music so relatively unknown? 2. I must have everything he ever wrote. Along these lines, I was pleased and not surprised to see that you had some RVW CDs that I don’t! That’s probably rare, but not surprising for you to eclipse us all. Too bad that probably at least some of the older ones are both out of print and not available on streaming either. But I will look.
Thanks very much!
Happy birthday and many thanks, I have learned so much thanks to you sharing your passion and knowledge!
I appreciate that!
Watching this as made me want to play all my Vaughan Williams albums yet again, so thanks for this, I'll have an afternoon of his symphonies and probably play Job last. Happy Birthday.
So much pleasure from listening to you, Dave! Here’s to a happy birthday 😄
Thank you kindly!
My go-to site now. Informative and fun. I love Vaughan Williams and there is so much of his music I am not familiar with. Thank you Mr. Hurwitz.
Thank you! Enjoy!
Happy Birthday, Dave! 🎉
Thanks!
No better way to celebrate your birthday than with the great RVW! Yasher Koach. This is a composer I never tire of exploring, and happily great new film scores and the like keep getting recorded and issued.
Thank you!
"End of Vaughan Williams..." lol!
Happy 62nd and many returns! I vaguely remember when I was that young. There are worse composers to have been obsessed with than RVW. You can be thankful it wasn't Graunke.
Very true, and many thanks. I can't believe so many of you remembered! I'm feel humbled (and older).
Happy Birthday Dave!
Thank you for your restless help and guidance through this crazy world of classical music!
Have a great day and take care!
Many thanks!
The composer whose works introduced me to classical music. Still a favorite.
Happy Birthday Dave hope you have a great day. Thank you for all your vids. Appreciate it very much
Thanks so much.
Gotta love RVW. I have a particular affection for that rare Stokowski recording of the Tallis Fantasia, coupled with Dvorak's String Serenade, since that coupling was my first introduction to both pieces, on a prerecorded cassette from the late '70's. When EMI reissued it briefly on CD I wasted no time to get ahold of it. It remains a cherishable recording.
Happy Birthday, Dave - Slainte!
Thanks!
I still have that old LP of the Barbirolli Elgar/VW record. Between crackles it still sounds wonderful. Sadly, I couldn't afford spare copies!
Happy Birthday Dave!🎉💐
Best wishes, Fred from Kristianstad. 🇸🇪
Thanks very much!
You know you've lived life right when you have a large box of RVW...that includes 3 versions of his Tuba Concerto 👍
Happy Birthday and many, many more 🎂
I don't remember hearing it myself, but I'm pretty sure Catelinet/Barbirolli (the recording named in this video) were the artists who premiered it, for anyone who cares about the "historical" performances.
@@Baritocity that one, Thompson cycle has one as does Previn...he didn't mention Previn, but we know ha has it.
With John Fletcher...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mister Dave Hurwitz! Looking forward to this - RVW = Great British Composer! PS. Can you give us the Bruckner 'neighing horse' again soon!
It's popped up recently at least twice... And thank you!
Great way to celebrate! Happy Birthday
Thank you 🤗
Happy Birthday Dave. Thanks for the RWV videos - all of them! I can't find another Barbirolli London Symphony besides the Halle one.
Thank you, first of all. There are two Barbirolli London Symphonies, but both are with Halle. I prefer the first one for it's brisker tempos.
@@DavesClassicalGuide thanks for this. I might have got it into my head that was a remake with a London orchestra.
The early chamber music works and the songs with John Mark Ainsley-great recordings!
Happy Birthday David!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday from Belgium! 🎉🥂
Thanks very much!

A really impressive overflow! Do you have more RVW in the overflow or in the permanent collection?
Minor RVW discography trivia: The Thomson Symphony cycle is only one issued with one Symphony per disc plus couplings. Every other one includes at least one issue in which there's two Symphonies per disc (this includes the original LP issues). Decca didn't release Symphony 9 in its Boult series, so that technically doesn't count.
I know that Adrian Boult's cycle on EMI recorded between 1967 and 1971 was released whith one symphony per disc on lp, at least in Europe.
@@fred6904 You're quite right! I don't know why I thought it wasn't. Too many reissues going around over the decades getting me mixed up. 😅
Join the club!
Dear Dave, that’s an impressive collection of Vaughan Williams only from your overlflow room! I have a question. I agree with you that Hickox’ (unfinished) and Haitink’s RVW cycles are not totally great as cycles, but I happen to like Hickox’ no. 4 very much and really love Haitink’s no. 6. It made me think of Rattle’s Sibelius cycle from Birmingham which I also think is not very recommendable as a cycle, but to my ears Rattle presses all the right buttons in no. 5. And I was very impressed by Bychkov’s Tchaikovsky Manfred Symphony on Decca whereas the symphony cycle that followed I found disappointing. Maybe you totally disagree with me, but could there be a series in Singleton Hits from Flawed Cycles?
Well, most cycles are flawed, so...
I'm reading your book on Sibelius... Have you ever thought of publishing recordings of you reading your books?
Not really.
At last!
Sadly, RVW is still criminally underplayed relative to his stature as a composer
?
A lot of people would claim just the opposite!
Happy birthday Dave! Thanks for another great RVW talk. Greetings from Amsterdam.
Thank you kindly!
Not for the first time, we've shared the same recording as debut listen of any given composer, I too got the Previn Pastarol (but Handley was my first Sinfonia A).
Probably missed what you said but what about the LSO Previn Symphony Cycle on RCA
I said nothing about it. This was Overflow Room stuff. You can find comments in my other RVW videos (and reviews on Classicstoday.com).
Hi Dave. I never get tired of your reviews. This may be a bit off topic, but, would you consider doing a review of symphony or opera performances on DVD? Listening is great, but, having the visual component gives me a higher level of enjoyment. Thank you for all you do.😊
Thank you. I just don't have time for DVDs, mostly.
