About this product

To mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams, pianist Mark Bebbington, members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Hilary Davan Wetton, present a recording of the composer's almost totally neglected orchestral work, Fantasia on the 'Old 104th' Psalm Tune, for solo piano, choir and orchestra premiered at the Three Choirs Festival in 1950. The album also features the Romance for viola and piano; the ever popular The Lark Ascending in the original 1914 version for solo violin and piano; and the early but ambitious Piano Quintet of 1903, which was embargoed until as late as the 1990s and scored for the same combination of instruments as Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet. Album Tracks 1. Piano Quintet in C minor~Allegro con fuoco 2. Piano Quintet in C minor~Andante 3. Piano Quintet in C minor~Fantasia (quasi variazioni) 4. Lark Ascending for solo violin and piano 5. Romance for viola and piano 6. Fantasia (quasi variazione) on the 'Old 104th' Psalm Tune
