Vaughan Williams: A Sea Symphony. Richard Hickox's 1989 Virgin recording of Ralph Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony is closer to the mainstream performing tradition than to the exceptionally expansive reading he recorded in 2006, which was released as a super audio CD on Chandos. The tempos in Hickox's comparatively youthful version with the Philharmonia Orchestra are brisker overall, the accentuation is stronger, and the levels of energy are much higher than in the later recording he made with the London Symphony Orchestra, where Hickox plainly adopted an elegiac tone and a gentler, sweeping feeling.

A Sea Symphony is a composition for orchestra and chorus by Ralph Vaughan Williams, written between 1903 and 1909. Vaughan Williams' first and longest symphony, it was first performed at the Leeds Festival in 1910, with the composer conducting
