Vaughan Williams and Peter Warlock: Hymns and Songs
THIS two-CD collection features some of the most beautiful compositions to flow from the pens of these two most English of composers.
Both possessed that delicate ability to define our national sensitivities in music.
There is the lyric delight of Williams’s song The Water Mill, sung quite beautifully by Ian Partridge, and Warlock’s I Saw A Fair Maiden sees Westminster Abbey Choir at its smoothest.
