  • I can honestly say the day I can get the same beautiful sound out of my cello will be one of my greatest days of achievement.

  • mi favorite is the last one, As I walk over the london brige.

  • I'm gonna be playing this for my freshman recital this year on tuba...sigh :3

  • this is nice, but i feel this piece on bass is much richer

  • I've heard a lot of transcriptions of this piece, but I don't think any of them are equal to the version for cello and piano. Vaughan Williams said that folk song melodies should always be rendered "with love". He certainly did that here. Great sound, Vicki.

  • The only thing I dont like about this piece is the picardy third at 4:18. Otherwise, its absolutely perfect

  • It's interesting how numbers 2 and 3 both use folksongs Vaughan Williams uses in his withdrawn Norfolk Rhapsody No. 2; in fact the accompaniment to number 3 is virtually identical, albeit on piano instead of orchestra! Since he withdrew the second (and third) rhapsodies and therefore never expected anyone to hear them, he obviously thought he may as well use the good material in a work he WAS intending on publishing!

    Brilliant performance!

  • wonderful :) I am going to start playing it on the clarinet, and i can't wait. I know overall this piece is beautiful, but on the cello, its gorgeous :)

    Wonderful job!
