Hardback-This new edition of Ralph Vaughan Williams's Symphony No.7 the Sinfonia Antartica has been prepared by David Matthews with support from the Ralph Vaughan Williams Charitable Trust. The work was drawn from the music Ralph Vaughan Williams provided for the film Scott of the Antarctic in 1947 and was completed in 1952. In it the composer skilfully evokes the sparse beauty and grandeur of the landscape with a large orchestra and percussion section including - famously - a wind machine to create a work of great power and intensity.
