Following on from their highly acclaimed cycle of the 9 Vaughan Williams symphonies, Andrew Manze and the RLPO have recorded a spectacular Job, taken from a live performance at the famed Philharmonic Hall in Liverpool. RVW's inspiration for Job arose from William Blake's illustrations for The Book of Job, a collection of water colours from 1805, and the later engravings from 1822.
