performed by Roderick Williams (baritone), Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir (choir, chorus), Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, David Lloyd-Jones (conductor)
composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams

performed by Paul Provost (organ), Roderick Williams (baritone), St. John's College Choir, Cambridge (choir, chorus), Britten Sinfonia
composed by Edward Bairstow

composed by Granville Bantock

Granville Bantock (1868-1946) was never one for doing things on a small scale, and his complete setting of Edward Fitzgerald's translation of The Ruba'iyat of Omar Khayyám attests to the scope of his vision. The oratorio, which lasts over three hours and requires a huge orchestra and chorus, is unlikely to find a place on many concert programs, ...
