Albion's 2013 recording from The Friary, Liverpool, with Paul Daniel and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, including world premixe8res of early and late works by Vaughan Williams was warmly received by Classic FM and went on to be nominated for a Grammy award.

rr

Vaughan Williams was just thirty when he composed The Solent in 1902 and eighty when he completed the Prelude on an Old Carol Tune in 1952. Over this astonishing period, the music is recognisably Vaughan Williams. On release, in September 2013, this recording was heavily endorsed by Classic FM, and sold very well indeed. It was nominated for 'Best Classical Compendium' in the February 2015 Grammy Awards.

Reviewsrr

Andrew Kennedy brings a wholly disarming eloquence and infectious fervour to the Four Hymns of 1912-14u2026 and Roland Wood lends splendidly lusty advocacy to those three indelible songs comprising Book I of the Songs of Travel in the composer's orchestration from 1905.rA tremendously rewarding and consistently absorbing compendium, this, flawlessly performed under Paul Daniel's idiomatic direction, and beautifully engineered to boot. A mandatory acquisition for all RVW acolytes. --Andrew Achenbach, Gramophone Magazine, November 2013

This is a major undertaking by Albion Records, and deserves to succeed as it is a triumph. --David Barker, Musicweb International
