Nice video - less opinionated than Hurwitz.
I like his memory of 'Behold the Sea!!'
I agree with him - I also like the spoken extracts in Sinfonia Antartica.
I like his comments on No.9 as well 'dark, dramatic and probing' also his appreciation of Boult's introductory speech, informing 'Our American friends that VW had just passed away'.

Quote from: vandermolen on June 14, 2024, 07:19:42 AMGreat to see VW on CPO. I see that they have chosen a stereotypical Ye Olde Teashop English village scene for the cover but, then again, why not? Thanks Cesar for alerting us to this interesting-looking release.

Yeah, some art from John Constable, Samuel Palmer or even Corot would've been more appropriate I think.
