Our Take

In a world full of symphonies that are about as exciting as watching paint dry, Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 2, also known as the "London Symphony," is like a breath of fresh air on a stuffy summer day. This album, brought to us by the dynamic duo of Bournemouth SO and Bakels, is a whimsical journey through the bustling city streets of London, complete with all the eccentric characters and vibrant energy you would expect from such a lively metropolis.

From the dramatic opening notes to the triumphant finale, Vaughan Williams takes us on a musical adventure filled with unexpected twists and turns. The Bournemouth SO and Bakels bring this symphony to life with their impeccable precision and undeniable talent, creating a performance that is both captivating and exhilarating.

Each movement of the symphony tells a different story, from the hauntingly beautiful "Lento" to the spirited "Scherzo." This album is a true masterpiece that showcases Vaughan Williams' genius and the incredible musicianship of Bournemouth SO and Bakels.

So, if you're tired of the same old symphonies and are looking for something a bit more daring and adventurous, look no further than Vaughan Williams' Symphony No. 2. This album is a true delight for the ears and a must-have for any music lover's collection. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
