Donald Macleod focuses on two completely contrasting Vaughan Williams operas.

Donald Macleod focuses on two completely contrasting Vaughan Williams operas, one being his most successful and the other a work that the composer fretted over for many years.

Donald Macleod continues his survey of the stage works of Vaughan Williams, with an astonishingly bleak and intense one-act opera based on a play by J.M Synge, and a less successful "romantic extravaganza".

Donald Macleod surveys Vaughan Williams's operas, a neglected area of his work
