VAUGHAN WILLIAMS : The Collector Edition (2008) 30xCD / FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Celebrated as the musical poet of of the English landscape, Vaughan Williams was also a visionary composer of enormous range; from the pastoral lyricism of The Lark Ascending and the still melancholy of Silent Noon to the violence of the Fourth Symphony and the grand ceremonial of All people that on earth do dwell, he assumed the mantle of Elgar as our national composer. This edition, released to mark the 50th anniversary of his death, presents all the major orchestral, chamber, vocal & stage works, as well as many lesser pieces and rarities, in the finest interpretations. All you favourite Vaughan Williams is here, in over 34 hours of music on 30 CDs.
