Vaughan Williams, R. - English Song Series 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Czech-born Eduard Nápravník (1839-1916) became one of the pivotal figures in the musical life of nineteenth-century Russia as conductor of the Imperial Mariinsky Opera in St Petersburg, he gave the premieres of some of the most important Russian operas, among them Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov, six by Tchaikovsky and nine by Rimsky-Korsakov. But his own music has largely been lost from sight - a fate it emphatically does not deserve, as these three works for violin and piano prove big-hearted and big-boned, replete with passionate Tchaikovskian melody, they reveal a composer ripe for rediscovery.

Originally released by Collins Classics, this recording covers 40 years of Quilter' career, ranging from the anonymous 15th century An old carol, by way of the great 16th and 17th century English poets.
