Reposting my video presentation of RVW's Eighth Symphony. The original upload has been spoiled by advertisements added by Youtube. I hope this repost will remain uninterrupted for at least a few weeks. (The symphony was composed between 1953 and 1955. Sir John Barbirolli, its dedicatee, conducted the Hallé Orchestra in the premiere at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester on 2 May 1956. It is the shortest of the composer's nine symphonies.)
