Vaughan Williams’s great paean to the city of London, written shortly before the outbreak of the Great War of 1914-18.
1st movment: Lento - Allegro risoluto 00:00
2nd movement: Lento: 14:00
3rd movement: Scherzo 24:43
4th movement Andante con moto - Maestoso all marcia 32:28
The performance is by the London Philharmonic conducted by Sir Roger Norrington on a wonderful Decca disc which also includes beautiful performances of the Tallis Fantasia and the Serenade to Music.
To accompany the music, I have used paintings of London which reflect the changing mood of the music as I hear it. Most of the paintings date from the early 20th century, though some are much later and a few somewhat earlier. They are listed below (work in progress: first three movements only.
