To mark the 40th anniversary of Barbirolli's death, EMI created this magnificent set, which includes notable Pye recordings along with all the EMI Classics ones. He conducts Manchester's Hall+ª Orchestra (which he elevated to world-class standing) on many of these, with particular emphasis on the great English composers. In addition to Elgar ( Sea Pictures; Symphony No. 1 in A Flat; Variations on an Original Theme, Op. 36 "Enigma"; Cello Concerto in E Minor ), Vaughan Williams ( A London Symphony; Symphony No. 5 in D; Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis ) and Delius ( A Village Romeo and Juliet-The Walk to the Paradise Garden in a Summer Garden ), you'll hear his exquisite interpretations of Mahler ( Symphony No. 5 in C Sharp Minor ), Debussy ( La Mer ), Brahms ( Symphony No. 3 in F ), Sibelius ( Finlandia-Symphonic Poem ), Puccini, Tchaikovsky, Ravel and more!
