Vaughan Williams:
The Wasps - Aristophanic Suite
Piano Concerto in C major
Ashley Wass (piano)
English Folk Song Suite
orch. Gordon Jacob
The Running Set
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, James Judd
The popular overture from Vaughan Williams’s incidental music for Aristophanes’s The Wasps introduces a suite whose mischievously witty, noble and farcical movements underline the play’s satire of the Athenian legal system.
A similar vivacity characterises his English Folksong Suite and The Running Set, where Vaughan Williams relishes setting tunes such as Barrack Hill, Irish Reel, The Blackthorn Stick and Cock o’ the North.
Folksong-like melodies also feature in his magnificent Piano Concerto, in which the magisterial influence of Bach and Busoni may also be heard.
