Editorial Reviews

Album Description
"The performances are expert, and the sound--which ranges from single wind instrument solos to a full band replete with thundering timpani and bass drum that can be felt through a subwoofer--is as good as it gets. There's a remarkable combination of presence and stage depth." -- Audio Magazine

Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) belonged in part to the English "pastoral school". By 1901 he had become intensely interested in the English folksong tradition and resolved to incorporate it into his creative work. He developed his own distinctive style, blending the folk traditions with a more advanced type of rhythm and harmony.
