About
Born in 1872 at Down Ampney, Gloucestershire (UK) to a well-to-do family with strong moral views and a progressive social life. Throughout his life he sought to be of service to his fellow citizens, and believed in making music as available as possible to everybody. His studies in 1907-1908 with the French composer Maurice Ravel helped him clarify the textures of his music.
Strongly influenced by Tudor music and English folk-song, his output marked a decisive break in British music. He is among the best-known British symphonists, noted for his very wide range of moods, from stormy and impassioned to tranquil, from mysterious to exuberant. Among the most familiar of his other concert works are Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis (1910) and The Lark Ascending (1914). His vocal works include hymns, folk-song arrangements and large-scale choral pieces.
This edition, which consists of the previous Vaughan Williams 30-CD box with some new additions and from which has been removed tracks whose rights have expired, presents all the major orchestral, chamber, vocal and stage works, as well as many lesser pieces and rarities, in the finest interpretations.
