Harvard Radio (they are online and streaming at www.whrb.org) is doing a chronological survey of Vaughan Williams. This program got a late start, so they are only up to 1925 if you are following their online program guide. I just heard for the first time, the violin concerto in d minor, Concerto Academico, conducted by Previn and played beautifully by James Buswell. When I checked to see if it was available on cd, I found a six cd set at a budget price! Hey, that's for me. It includes ALL the symphonies (so what if I have duplicates?), Tuba Concerto--also new to me!, the much-loved Overture to "The Wasps" and "Elizabeth in England" which I have never heard before. I had a professor of music history once who went on and on about how in order to appreciate Vaughan Williams you had to be British, and you have to had worshiped in a stone church. Nonsense!!! Vaughan Williams speaks directly to me, a granny from Philly. Ever since I first heard him, I've been a fan. Oooo. Now they are about to do "Six Studies in English Folksong" for chambergroup. <pleased sigh>. Mimi Ezust
