Digital Booklet

“They are lovely—romantic, melodious, wistful, beautifully crafted—even though they sound more like Elgar or Brahms than VW, with scarcely a modal harmony in an hour of music. Gently beguiling performances from top-notch players.”
- The Times
“The performances are exceptional. In a collective and individual display of how to deliver chamber music at world-class level, Sarah-Jane Bradley's viola-playing—ear-mesmerising, yet never obtrusive—shines even in this company.”
- BBC Music Magazine
“one is able to enjoy this attractive and appealing music in its own right as well as marvelling at how, in just a few short years, Vaughan Williams went from being rather derivative to wholly personal... The London Soloists Ensemble give an excitingly powerful and dramatic account of [the Piano Quintet].”
- MusicWeb International
This varied release presents chamber music from the eminent Ralph Vaughan Williams, including his Piano Quintet in C Minor and Six Studies in English Folk Song, here in its arrangement for clarinet and piano. Performed by the renowned musicians of the London Soloists Ensemble, this collection displays Vaughan Williams's stylistic development from Schubert-esque to the prolific arranger of folk song that he is remembered as today.
