5.0 out of 5 stars
Delightful!,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Music by Finzi, Vaughan Williams and Holst (Audio CD)
This recording is absolutely delightful! I first bought this record when I was 18, shorly before I went into the Army. When I was stationed at Ft Gordon, GA, to my suprise I heard it on a radio, a huge console stereo in the dayroom, probably was on a National Public Radio type broadcast station. The recording burned in a fire about 8 years later. Then about 22 years later while stationed in South Korea, I found a copy of this record at a record shop, in perfect condition. The voice of John Shirley-Quirk singing this is the best recording I've heard of Ralph Vaughan William's Five Mystical Songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars
psalm 86,
By A Customer
This review is from: Music by Finzi, Vaughan Williams and Holst (Audio CD)
I have only heard the Psalm on radio 3 and was struck by its refreshing arrangement. A single male voice (of considerable range) is balanced against a treble chorus singing in deceptively simple harmony at times, lightly accompanied by a small ensemble. The variety of texture, dynamics and orchestration is compelling to hear and much to be recommended for "bath"ing to!!
