A Company of Englishmen

on BBC Radio 3

In a sequence of English music of many shades of style and colour, Tippett's Little Music for Strings, Vaughan Williams 's rarely-heard Fantasia on the Old 104th, Variations on Sellinger's Round by various composers, written for the 1953 Aldeburgh Festival, and Walton's Cello Concerto are interspersed with piano music by Rawsthome, Berkeley, Elgar, Bridge and composer/pianist James Walker.
Music for counter-tenor and guitar by Richard Rodney Bennett and Arthur Wills completes the mixture.
Simon Milner puts it all in context.
