A towering and majestic performance.
Slatkin gives a towering and majestic performance of the Sinfonia Antartica (No. 7), which evolved from RVW’s score for the film Scott of the Antarctic. It must be regarded as the best modern choice, eclipsing even Haitink’s impressive EMI recording. Slatkin’s Antarctic wilderness chills you to the bone. You smile at the comic dignity of the penguins, are awed at the immensity and weight of the ice wall and thoroughly involved in the human tragedy. A glowing account of the lovely Dives and Lazarus Variants completes a very attractive issue.

Could you re upload this please?
Thank you very much :)
Hello there my friend. Since you've posted 4 of the Slatkin/Philharmonia CDs of Vaughan Williams, i was wondering if you also have the other two CDs from the set that are missing? I can't find it anywhere. Best reggards!
No, I don't have them, sorry
Sadly, the link is down yet again. I would certainly appreciate a re-up if at all possible. These Slatkin recordings are hard to find, but they are highly regarded.
