Vintage recordings on the new BBC Music magazine free cover disc.
From 1948, Yehudi Menuhin playing Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the BBC Scottish Orchestra conducted by Ian Whyte.
From 1936, Vaughan Williams conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Chorus in his own Dona Nobis Pacem with soloists Renee Flynn soprano and Roy Henderson baritone.
I have to admit that vintage recordings are not my thing.

Overdosing On The Sugar
BBC Music magazine Christmas cover disc for 2011.
Performers : The Choir of Gonville and Caius College Cambridge, director Geoffrey Webber, Annie Lydford and Nick Lee organ, Joe Shiner clarinet.
Traditional and contemporary, mystical and saccharine. A bit too much of the saccharine for me this time around, not a patch on the same choir's commercial release "Into This World This Day Did Come".
