Notes

Vaughan Williams withdrew or destroyed many works from his earliest period, but he considered The Solent, with its haunting opening and luminous polyphonic textures, as among his ‘most important works’. The Fantasia is his earliest known piece for solo instrument with orchestra and contains some of his most bravura writing, contrasting with the graceful geniality of the Suite. Depicting a sublimely pastoral scene and now one of the best loved pieces ever written, Vaughan Williams called The Lark Ascending a ‘romance’, a term reserved for his most profoundly lyrical works.

The Strad - Recommends

"Pike's soaring Lark is a masterclass in expressive free flight."

Tim Holmfray - The Strad - April 2017

Performance **** Recording **

"...The music has a finesse that belies the workaday title; Kloke's playing nicely captures its appeal."

Malcolm Hayes - BBC Music magazine - February 2017
