This is the second disc from Albion Records which is part of the Vaughan Williams Society.

Albion Records Ltd, a not-for-profit record label, is dedicated to recording rare 20th century English classical music, concentrating on Ralph Vaughan Williams. The label is a subsidiary of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society and each of the CDs will contain world première recordings.

The disc again boasts the talents of Iain Burnside, Roderick Williams, Sarah Fox and Andrew Staples.

This second disc Kissing Her Hair, is a collection of early Vaughan Williams songs. One, Rondel, from which the title is gained, is unpublished and unrecorded; it is serenely beautiful and is as it was written when the composer was only 22. It will change perceptions of the quality of music Vaughan Williams was composing at this early age. This CD was released to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of the composer. The picture on the cover is that of Ralph Vaughan William’s first wife Adeline

“Roderick Williams… is entrusted with all but five of these 20 songs - and a sterling job he does, too, with intelligent word-pointing and the voice sonorous, firmly focused and evenly controlled. Iain Burnside provides immaculate support.” Gramophone Magazine, September 2008

Joyful Company of Singers, Peter Broadbent

This is the fourth disc from Albion Records which is part of the Vaughan Williams Society.

Albion Records Ltd, a not-for-profit record label, is dedicated to recording rare 20th century English classical music, concentrating on Ralph Vaughan Williams. The label is a subsidiary of the Ralph Vaughan Williams Society and each of the CDs will contain world première recordings.

These vocal works were composed from 1895 and 1954 showing Vaughan Williams lifelong affection for the human voice.

Performed by the award winning Joyful Company of Singers, under Peter Broadbent, one of Europe’s leading Chamber Choirs

Recorded in the approximate order of composition this recording shows how much Vaughan Williams adapted his style over about sixty years.

“Technically secure and tonally rounded, the Joyful Company of Singers live up to their name throughout, but without ever sliding into over-characterisation. Well balanced, atmospheric recordings complete the experience.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2009 ****

“The performances perhaps take a little time to hit full stride - and Broadbent's hard-working group aren't always a match for Brewer's in terms of characterful word-pointing, technical pose and secure tuning - but this remains an eminently appealing hour's worth of off-the-beaten-track VW, very nicely masterminded by producer/engineer Michael Ponder, and featuring some extensive and helpful annotation by Stephen Connock.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2009

One of the leading English composers of his generation, Vaughan Williams went some way towards creating a specifically English musical idiom, influenced by his interest in folk-song yet underpinned by a personal vision and language. This is nowhere better expressed than in his superb cycle of Nine Symphonies. The ‘London’ Symphony features a rich medley of thematic material that suggests the varied life of the capital city. The Lark Ascending, which concludes this disc, is one of Vaughan Williams’s most enduringly popular compositions
