Customer Reviews:

GREAT CD FOR CHEAPO!.......2004-01-03

Usually Naxos is hit or miss, but Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Simon Keenlyside pull off a great recording of a great selection of some of Vaughn Williams. Best 7 dollars I ever spent, really. On Wenlock Edge is particularly good, but really its all superb.

Wonderful.......2002-08-28

Beautiful settings by Vaughan Williams, Splendid singing by both Anthony Rolfe Johnson and Simon Keenlyside. Atmospheric recording. Bliss! All lovers of art songs, rejoice!
