SIR Mark Elder conducting the Halle Orchestra presents two contrasting works by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
Symphony No 5 influenced by Ravel is a tranquil work scored for traditional forces. Symphony No 8, premiered by the Halle in 1956, is more light-hearted in tone and features exotic instrumental colour. These superlative performances come highly recommended.
