Vernon Handley's Chandos Moeran recordings are regarded as classic accounts. This final disc in the recent series of reissues gathers together some less well-known but hardly less appealing works: the 'Serenade in G' is highly attractive with its use of ancient dance forms, transformed in modern colours and dress, while the 'Nocturne' for baritone and chorus (a work much admired by Britten) is wonderfully atmospheric. The 'Rhapsodies' are unpretentious and highly enjoyable, with some very attractive themes, while folk-like melodies pervade 'In the Mountain Country' to disarming effect.
