Another glorious piece of music by Vaughan Williams and the most sumptuous passionate version - oh yeah!

Silvestri conducts Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis



Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis by Vaughan Williams. Constantin Silvestri conducted the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in this classic EMI recording from 1968. Silvestri made some great records during his time at Bournemouth and this is one of his most famous ones. An excellent alternative to the wonderful Barbirolli version.


ENJOY AND WALLOW IN ITS MAGNIFICENCE

My first day of work of the New Year. I popped over to Strood end of Medway City today. Had to do one of these one-pound store visits. I also popped into Rainham to Sunburst Books and bought three classical CDs for a quid.

These are –
Mussorgsky – Pictures At An Exhibition (Ravel orch.)




Max Bruch – Symphony no.1



Saxophone Concertos (Marco Polo CD)



It was a sunny but very cold day, just reached 6C during the afternoon.

Well, no more work till next week. I do have some online work though which means I do not have to travel in the cold.

What have you really wanted to do for a long time but haven’t done yet?

What language do you like the sound of, even though you don’t know how to speak it?

What useless bits of information have you memorized and will probably never forget?
