"It clocks in at 51 minutes in the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra's performance, with Brabbins's fabulously assured reading generally favouring broad tempi, in the unaltered first movement especially ... The fill-ups are fascinating, too".

"In every respect Brabbins leads a splendid performance of this marvellous symphony and he's supported by the BBCSO on top form ... The best way now to hear that 1920 score is in this new Martyn Brabbins performance ... The two vocal numbers are a delight ... Elizabeth Watts sings it delightfully and the delicate scoring works beautifully ... [In] Variations for Brass Band ... I admire both the crispness and, at times, the poetry of the playing of the Royal College of Music Brass Band".

"The performance is well-served by the spacious acoustic of Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall ... All in all these are terrific performances and convincing interpretations".

"Brabbins conducts the [Symphony] with a sense of purposeful directness, likeably enhanced by the expressive warmth of the BBC Symphony Orchestra's response".

"Hos Seaman og kompagni er der symfonisk tænding fra først til sidst. Deres varme nærvær tilfører strygerklangen både ømhed og tyngde, imens messingsektionen passende udvider stemningsspektret med et par dryp frisk syrlighed ... En udgivelse med masser af nerve - også selvom den indimellem sidder lidt vel fast i den ensformige tristesse hos Williams".

"Editor's choice: Brabbins masterminds a superbly involving account ... Clocking in at around 52 minutes, it's a canvas of thrilling sweep, evocative power and vaulting ambition ... Above all, Brabbins exhibits a very real love for this remarkable score ... The fill-ups are a joy, too. Elizabeth Watts makes a radiant showing in Orpheus With His Lute ... An irresistible anthology, in sum".

"Andrew Manze ... börjar allt oftare nämnes som en speicalist på tonsättaren. Han handskas känsligt och lyhört med tredje symfonins partitur och Liverpoolorkestern spelar strålande ... Även i den mer råbarkade fyran visar orkestern vilken högklassig ensemble den är, och Manze styr återigen med säker hand".

"As both tempo and dynamic increase, though, where's the surge of adrenalin and tremendous sense of pent-up energy ... Elder sets the emotional thermostat at slightly too low a temperature throughout [Symphony] ... The oboe concerto is more to my liking ... Stéphane Rancourt makes an exquisitely poised and affectionate soloist, while Elder and his responsive Hallé Strings play their full part in a lovely performance of unstinting poetry and illumination".

"This new disc is filled out with a delicate, perfectly poised and balanced, and utterly delightful account of Vaughan Williams late (1944) Oboe Concerto ... Symphony and Concerto combine to make this a delectable issue indeed".
