141. Songs from a disappearing world: Vaughan Williams, Norfolk Rhapsody

CACOPHONY: GREAT CLASSICAL MUSIC

Haunting and melancholy music from my hometown, Vaughan Williams's Norfolk Rhapsody No.1 features the old songs of fisherman and the last days of a way of life. Like the local landscape it's bleak but beautiful!

Total listening time 18 mins (podcast 7', music 11')
