Yes, Vaughn Williams is another great favourite of mine too, in fact I live very near to Dorking where he lived for much of his life and my mother in law is very proud that she sang in a choir he conducted once. I tried with the Elgar post, to avoid the better know things (eg 'Nimrod' etc) - perhaps I'll do a similar post about RVW, though how could I ignore that Lark!!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701059256337022749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5120715866587921870.post-42020126655676090132012-02-26T05:13:20.088-08:002012-02-26T05:13:20.088-08:00I am still listening to the last piece as I write ...I am still listening to the last piece as I write this and sublime is exactly right, all the pieces are beautiful as are all of his works of course. My favourite, like so many people, is Jacqueline du Pre's haunting nterpretation of his cello concerto, again absolutely sublime. Incidentally, speaking of 'outdoor music', Vaughan Williams comes to mind also.<br /><br />Your lovely photo of the Malvern hills really does 'go' with the music.<br /><br />Thank you Jerry, that's me set up nicely for the rest of my Sunday.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.com
