| Summary |
The story of Vaughan William's life, from a sheltered childhood to the Ambulance Corps of the First World War. Palmer seeks "to explode for ever the image of a cuddly old Uncle, endlessly recycling English folk songs, and to awaken the audience to a central figure in our musical heritage..., who deserves his place among the greatest of British composers, the equal of Benjamin Britten and Elgar." --accompanying notes |
