Ralph Vaughan Williams - Songs Of Travel (Naxos Audio CD)

VAUGHAN WILLIAMS CD - Although Vaughan Williams is best known as a symphonist & for large-scale choral works, the essence of his music can also be found in his songs, which demonstrate a peerless sensitivity to the beauty of the English language. Songs of Travel, composed in 1904 at a time when the composer's personal voice was emerging, have been described as a "kind of English Winterreise". Together with The House of Life; Linden Lea; 4 Poems by Fredegond Shove.
