In 2012, conductor Andrew Manze's BBC Proms performances of several of Vaughan Williams's symphonies were a highlight of the season, drawing strong critical acclaim. On this new disc, he leads the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in the first release in a complete symphony cycle for Onyx Classics. Included here are A London Symphony and the Symphony No.8. A London Symphony was first performed in 1914. The original score for the work was lost during the first world war, but was reconstructed and modified by the composer. The Symphony No.8 of 1955 is a tightly written, brilliant and innovative work that shows the composer's creativity at full stretch.
