Vaughan Williams - Willow-Wood. Roderick Williams (baritone). Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, David Lloyd-Jones. Roderick Williams's beautifully phrased and enunciated singing in Willow-Wood proclaims him an heir to the great tradition of British baritones. BBC Music Magazine, November 2005, Mor. elease Date: 31st Oct 2005. Roderick Williams is perfectly cast: gentle warmth, virility, and nobility tinged with regret. A fine recording from the Liverpool forces, and that's a nice touch given Willow-Wood's history. The only thing cheap about the whole project is the price.

The 1951 choral cantata Sons of Light, with words by Williams's wife Ursula, is almost equally unfamiliar, though it did appear on LP; the Whitman setting Toward the Unknown Region is a choral repertory piece, while the orchestral Five Variants, beautifully shaped here by David Lloyd-Jones and the RLPO, is a quietly effective study in variation technique.

Roderick Williams, baritone Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir/David Lloyd-Jones Naxos . 57798 61:51. Lloyd-Jones' splendid reading and Roderick Williams' rich baritone voice make this an essential disc for the Vaughan Williams enthusiast, even if little else of consequence were being offered here – but plenty more riches crowd this CD. Toward the Unknown Region is fairly standard Vaughan Williams, at least in England. The popular Five Variants of Dives (pronounced Dye-vess) and Lazarus is given a splendid performance by the Liverpool players and Lloyd-Jones, their reading as good as any I've encountered. What a fine work this is.
Symphony No. 5 in D major by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams was written between 1938 and 1943. In style it represents a shift away from the violent dissonance of Symphony No. 4, and a return to the more romantic style of the earlier Pastoral Symphony. It is also noteworthy as perhaps the quietest symphony Vaughan Williams ever wrote, with only a very few passages rising even to a forte. The texture throughout the work is strongly dominated by the strings.
