Composer of the Week: RalphVaughan Williams - Symphonies

on BBC Radio 3

The heroic figure of Captain Scott haunts many of Vaughan Williams's late works. Donald Macleod looks at how the indomitability of the human spirit became a key element in his music, and epitomised a man who continued to explore new ideas, right up to his death, aged 85.
