I have just listened on catch up to the RVW.
Powerful and moving performance I thought.
I wonder if Sarah Fox's voice was a little bit weak ? or was it the fault of the sound balancing,also not sure she managed to hit all the higher notes spot on.

The Vaughan Williams I'll have a listen but not sure about the new work. There have been quite a few lately, that have made me squirm!
