    5. Darest thou now, o Soul

      Composer: Ralph Vaughan Williams

      Ensemble: BBC Symphony Chorus, BBC Symphony Orchestra

      Conductor: Martyn Brabbins


Martyn Brabbins and the BBC Symphony Orchestra perform one of the mightiest of first symphonies ever written. Vaughan Williams's setting of Walt Whitman creates a very special sense of occasion. The coupling is Vaughan Williams's later, virtually unknown, setting of Whitman's 'Darest thou now, O soul' for chorus and strings.
