Subject: RE: Review: Vaughan Williams Folk Songs - new CD
RVW is clearly one of Britain’s greatest composers. I see no objection to him incorporating “folk themes” in his orchestral music but I don’t think it’s acceptable to present sanitsed (written down and arranged) piano and voice as “folk music”.
