Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 7 'Sinfonia Antartica'*
Vaughan Williams Symphony No. 9 in E Minor 

The final volume in the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and Andrew Manze's Vaughan Williams Symphony cycle contains ‘Sinfonia Antartica’ No.7 and his final enigmatic symphony, the 9th. The 7th drew its inspiration from music RVW had composed for the film ‘Scott of the Antartic’, though very little of that score actually made it to the symphony. The 9th symphony dates from his final years and shows no trace of any creative decline.
