Vaughan Williams: The Lark Ascending, Fantasia on Greensleeves, Job

“(David Juritz’ tone [in "the Lark Ascending"] is pure and effortlessly controlled ... a few lines that inspired Vaughan Williams are spoken before by Niamh Cusack, a legitimate recording device. … It (was) to the credit of Collins that Barry Wordsworth was chosen for their recording of Vaughan Williams’ Job with the Philharmonia . In my opinion, he fully justifies the risk, with an extremely fine interpretation that I would rank next to Boult’s (EMI) as far as recordings are concerned ... He never lets us forget that this score was written for the stage, and the drama behind the notes is fully realized ... Collins provided a clear and balanced recording” (Gramophone)
