I met Ursula Vaughan Williams on many occasions, some of them when we were both members of the vwml advisory committee. Ralph was most definitely pronounced Rafe. I wonder if all the contributors here have listened to the cd. I have. I think the focus should be on the arrangements of the songs. That's the point of the cds. And I agree with Brian Peters.... I've heard modern day folk singers whose renditions of the songs are as far removed from, say Harry Cox's singing as these classical singers.
