Composer of the Week - Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) - The Stage Works - A Vision of Albion

The pastoral episode Shepherds of the Delectable Mountains is a staging post along the course of Vaughan Williams's John Bunyan odyssey, a thread which would weave itself through the whole of his creative life, and would culminate in 1951 with the premiere of his full-scale opera The Pilgrim's Progress. Presented by Donald Macleod.
