EMI has released a set (Catalogue #06636) which it calls "The Collector's Vaughan Williams." It contains just about every major work -- symphonies, oratorios, chamber, operas, concerti -- and quite a few minor ones. Thirty CDs fill up the box, no liner notes, but a booklet indicating what's on each CD. The performances so far are first-rate: Boult, Handley, Hickox, Groves, Del Mar, Davies, Willcocks, Sargent, The Music Group of London, the Britten Quartet, the London Madrigal Singers (in what remains my favorite program of VW choral folk-song settings). Furthermore, you can buy this for less than $60 (American) on the Internet. Wow! I won't be reviewing this because, frankly, just listing all the contents will be enough to tire me out. At my usual degree of detail, I myself wouldn't finish reading it.
