BBC Concert Orchestra/Wordsworth, Cadogan Hall, London playing RVW's Symhony No. 5

[Stanfordian]

On Radio 3 a few minues ago was a live concert of English music is the BBC Concert Orchestra under Barry Wordsworth, playing Vaughan Williams’s Symphony No. 5 from the Cadogan Hall, London. Vaughan Williams's magnificent music and the wonderful playing stopped me in my tracks forcing me to listen.

I love it when this happens; I remember "popping" into a library to pick up a score when they started playing the Mozart Requiem - a transfixed hour passed before I left! Jeanette Winterson describes how a painting in a gallery window display she was passing had greater power to keep her attention than she had to move on.

RVW's music always has this effect on me Stan.

RVW is one of the few composers that can do that, with me, transfix you!
