KISSING HER HAIR
Twenty early songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams

This disc Kissing Her Hair, is a collection of early Vaughan Williams songs. One, Rondel, from which the title is gained, is unpublished and unrecorded; it is serenely beautiful and is as it was written when the composer was only 22. It will change perceptions of the quality of music Vaughan Williams was composing at this early age.

Sarah Fox, Soprano
Andrew Staples, Tenor
Iain Burnside, Piano
