I have been listening to Ralph Vaughan Williams Symphonies for nearly forty years. I thought that it would be a jolly idea to put them in some kind of order of preference. Then I wondered what other people thought. So here goes – although I cannot promise that I will not change my mind in coming years – or days or weeks or months.
Symphony No.5
Symphony No.8
Symphony No 9
Symphony No.4
Symphony No.6
Symphony No.2 ‘London’
Symphony No.3 ‘Pastoral’
Symphony No.7 ‘Antarctica’
And now I cheat. The Symphony No. 1 The Sea Symphony is always a favourite – but because it is choral I did not know where to put it in the above list. Probably second if I am honest.
And the London and Pastoral do move up and down the list too! I suppose it is really only the Antarctica that I positively dislike!
Anyone else?
