Notes
Ralph Vaughan Williams composed in a wide variety of genres, and film music became a significant part of his output in the latter decades of a long and distinguished career. He viewed film scores as more than just ephemera, seeking to “intensify the spirit of the whole” in wartime productions such as the defiantly ant-Nazi 49th Parallel and Coastal Command, in which the graceful romance of sea-planes sends the spirits soaring. The haunting and evocative atmosphere of The Flemish Farm contrasts with Three Portraits that evoke the first Elizabethan age and announce the springtime of the second.

"... Penny’s performance…comes across with considerable majesty and power; not at all hurried. …splendidly recorded and performed disc. …There are tangs and flavours here that you will not have heard before."
Rob Barnett - MusicWeb-International.com - July 2016
"...Vaughan Williams composed in a wide range of genres and film music became a significant part of his output in the latter decades of a long and distinguished career. He took film scores seriously, seeking to “intensify the spirit of the whole” in wartime productions such as the defiantly anti-Nazi 49th Parallel and Coastal Command, in which the graceful romance of sea-planes sends the spirits soaring. On this album, the haunting and evocative atmosphere of The Flemish Farm contrasts with The England of Elizabeth: Three Portraits that evoke the first Elizabethan age and announce the springtime of the second."
