Description
EDITORIAL REVIEWS The popular overture from Vaughan Williams' incidental music for Aristophanes' the Wasps introduces a suite whose mischievously witty, noble and farcical movements underline the play' satire of the Athenian legal system. REVIEW Is the long all-but-ignored Vaughan Williams Piano Concerto finally attaining popularity? Lang Lang and Herbie Hancock have toured the two-piano version recently, while Ashley Wass revisits his Proms success with this superb recording. He reveals a compelling, fascinating work. -- Gramophone Editor's Choice, December 2009
