Four great contemporaries with hugely different voices. Vaughan Williams' fascinating early Piano quintet still speaks an English dialect of Brahms, but is a strong and successful piece on its own terms. Finzi's Eclogue is a lovely example of the English 'pastoral' style we associate with the mature Vaughan Williams. Delius had a different vision of England, highly-coloured and swooningly romantic, while Elgar's own favourite among his works, his early Serenade, already shows his unmistakeable personality. We end our festival with a
gorgeous Scottish farewell.
