The popular overture from Vaughan Williams's incidental music for Aristophanes's The Wasps introduces a suite whose mischievously witty, noble and farcical movements underline the play's satire of the Athenian legal system. A similar vivacity characterises his English Folksong Suite and The Running Set, where Vaughan Williams relishes setting tunes such as Barrack Hill, Irish Reel, The Blackthorn Stick and Cock o' the North. Folksong-like melodies also feature in his magnificent Piano Concerto, in which the magisterial influence of Bach and Busoni may also be heard.

Reviews

FonoForum 04/10: "Ashley Wass gibt dem spröden und seltsam eigenbrötlerisch wirkenden Konzert ein kraftvoll klares Profil und findet auch in der langsamen "Romanza" den richtigen, ätherisch-entrückten Tonfall. Auch das Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra zeigt sich unter der Leitung von James Judd als perfekter Vertreter der urbritischen Musik von Vaughan Williams."
