Re: a few thoughts on Ralph Vaughan Williams

extraordinary piece of work.....I was married to a violinist for 20 years, so I've heard my fair share of operas, concerts, and a violin's contributions and was familiar of course with Hilary Hahn.....but this was outstanding...enjoyed the landscapes as well

I look at my hand, the expanding wrinkles like unmarked country roads, old veins like baby snakes of mountain blue sunning themselves on granite rock skin, spotted, discolored, chapped, this hand is so familiar to me, there is no other like it no doubt it belongs to me, I know this hand like the bac...
