Larks Ascending
Just before he volunteered for active service in the First World War, Ralph Vaughan Williams completed The Lark
Ascending for violin and orchestra, an evocation of the peaceful Britain he was leaving behind, and a fiendish challenge for a violinist. Violinist
Iona Brown performs it, with memories of the composer from Ursula Vaughan -
Williams and Sir Neville Marriner , and the sounds of the larks recorded by Richard Margoschis. Stereo
