Ralph Vaughan Williams - Fantasia on a Christmas Carol

Other than the movie theater, the only other place that the American public seems to have a taste for classical music is at Christmas.  I think that this is primarily due to popularizers like Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, and particularly composers like Aaron Copeland and Ralph Vaughan Williams who here takes the familiar and spins it in new directions.

  1. French orchestra, Finnish conductor and sung in English. What a combination. Very church like to me.
    Thanks for the lesson today, I am off to learn more about another Williams.
