Clocking In At 12 Minutes 13 Seconds "A London Symphony" Played By The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Kees Bakels, conductor .................... Enjoy !!!!


I wasn't familiar with the Lento from "A London Symphony" It has to be amongst one of the most beautiful relaxing pieces that RVW ever composed.

It was dedicated to Vaughan Williams's friend and fellow composer George Butterworth (1885–1916) who was subsequently killed by a sniper on the Somme during World War I.
It was Butterworth who had first encouraged Vaughan Williams to write a purely orchestral symphony.

The second movement Lento is a remarkable piece in particular. It's mournful beauty reflects the loss of Butterworth who I truly believe, had he lived, would have been one of the greatest British classical music composers of the twentieth century. Certainly as famous as his contemporaries Holst, Elgar, Vaughan Williams & Britten.
