"Elder's account of the Fifth has a wonderful easy breadth, a sense of inevitable unfolding that pays most dividends in the third-movement Romanza, where the symphony's thematic connections with Vaughan Williams' opera The Pilgrim's Progress are strongest, and the rapt resolution in the final passacaglia is achieved quite magically."
- Andrew Clements , The Guardian
Sir Mark Elder leads the Hallé in another instalment of English music with Vaugh William's Fifth and Eighth Symphonies. Elder expertly brings out the textures of the shimmering percussion throughout the Eighth, and the Hallé showcase their musicality and expressive skills throughout.
