The first recording of Vaughan Williams's 6th Symphony was made in America by the New York Philharmonic under Leopold Stokowski, on 21 February 1949. Stokowski was a great champion of RVW in the USA and declared that this symphony "will take its place with the greatest creations of the masters." Here is the third movement in the original edition of the score. RVW was later to make several changes to this movement, as anyone familiar with the revised version will soon hear.
