Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis
Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia creates a heavenly atmosphere with translucent strings, preparing the audience for the transcendent experience of Beethoven’s final symphony; his “Ode to Joy” fills the concert hall with uplifting voices, unifying and inspiring.
