  • Originally written for the oboist Leon Goossens, the "Concerto for Oboe and Strings" is played here by the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, conducted by Sir Neville Marriner. The oboist in this recording is Celia Nicklin.
    The paintings are by the English artist Henry Herbert La Thangue. The one at about 6.43 is entitled "The Man with the Scythe", (you can see him at the garden gate), and is rather unusual for La Thangue, a painter of rural realism, being a symbolistic representation of death. The previous painting, called "The Last Furrow" is far more typical of his style.

    As they say, 'every picture tells a story', and while La Thangue's paintings are so evocative of English country life, the story of an English countryside now lost to us can be glimpsed in the nostalgic tones of RVW's music. Beautiful.

    As much as I love English music, I confess to knowing very little of our Art heritage.
    HH La Thangue's work is really good and much valid. A love of Frederick Delius brought me to artist John Atkinson Grimshaw whom I equally admire. A great deal of English music is Romantic and Pastoral. We should treasure it more and fall back in love with it.

    Hi David, I have long since college been in love with RVW, but I had mostly played " The Lark... and Five Dives... Greensleeves etc. I have heard selections from folk songs and sea songs, however could not name them. Thank you once again for expanding my listening pleasure and for taking the time to present perfect artwork in conjunction with wonderful music. Be well.😋

      One of my favourite pieces by Vaughan Williams is his adaptation for organ of the Welsh hymn tune Rhosymedre, (arranged for orchestra by Arnold Foster), which I've uploaded elsewhere on the channel. I just think it's a lovely tune.
      Best wishes.

    This melody is beyond description , inspirational , graceful and comfortable to the ear and the mind
    Without Vaughan Williams ,
    the English music would have been very lonely and insipid
    and the enjoyment and pleasures of the English music would have been less

      Thank you for your kind and understanding reply. I’m sorry to be negative about what are lovely pictures and I’m so grateful for your collections of fantastic music. It is difficult in a few words to convey one’s meaning. Music and art are so closely connected each giving deeper meaning to the other. This wonderful music speaks to me subjectively of beautiful English skies in early Spring and the flight of the swallow rather than of people and the earth. Keep up the good work, especially as Radio 3 is now largely finished. Philip

      @@philipgillibrand832 Hi Philip, and thank you for continuing to support the channel. There really is no need to be sorry for expressing an honest opinion though. Music is such a subjective thing that what we receive from it is inevitably at variance with what others do. And, doubtless, at variance with what the composer intended us to receive. Best wishes.

      @@emelless5365 Sorry for the slow response. I was not thinking of Constable, but those artists of the impressionist school with a light etherial touch concentrating on sky scenes, perhaps in the Norfolk countryside, where the sky prevails over the land. Pathetic answer I know as I ought to name at least one. I’ll have a think! Thank you though for taking the time to respond. We are united by the greatest and only international language, music.
