鈥楶astoral鈥� in name only - Vaughan Williams鈥� third symphony is a searching and devastating response to his experiences amid the wretched battlefields of World War One. Fragments and echoes of which coalesce, by way of a plaintive trumpet call and the apparition of a lone soprano voice, to form a work of troubling serenity simmering with regret.
