This disc, suitably and finely recorded with depth in 1985, is a very fine rendition of Vaughan Williams' seventh symphony, subtitled Antarctica, reflecting the source of its inspiration. The film depicts Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole and Vaughan Williams was commissioned to write the music. While doing so, he became so engrossed by the subject that he reworked much of the material into his next symphony. The degree of reworking combined with fresh material took the music out of the realm of a film score suite and more properly into a symphonic conception.
The music is highly atmospheric and makes use of a large orchestra, wordless female chorus, wordless solo soprano, organ and wind machine. The core of the work is the central third movement, and within that movement, the massive organ entry representing the enormous blocks of ice. This movement, entitles 'Landscape, is based on a quotation from Coleridge and the subject matter is obviously portrayed musically. Each movement has similar quotations taken from a number of literary sources. These may enhance understanding but the music is sufficiently vivid as to not need such knowledge for comprehension.
Haitink, with his typically sober, level-headed, clear-cut thinking so suitable for Mahler, is here ideally matched to this symphony too. The symphony consequently has great seriousness of purpose, towering strength and sense of direction. The orchestra, well used to performing for him, responds with complete conviction. The engineers balance all the forces involved with remarkably fine judgement to produce a superlative aural result.-I. Giles
