Nothing short of glorious is the music on this new CD from Naxos:

Especially the Piano Quintet in C minor (1903, rev.1904, 1905).

For me Vaughan Williams is the greatest British composer of them all. There: I've said it. Pity most of his output falls outside the confines of UC. However, this Naxos CD contains music as romantic as anyone could wish for. As I said: glorious. Buy it!

I wholeheartedly agree, Alan. He is the top of the tree for me too.
