Peregrine/Ingham - Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge, Frederick Delius, Edward Elgar, EJ Moeran, Ralph Vaughan Williams: Folk Tales - British Cello

All of the composers on this album were part of a new �English Style� that blended traditional lyricism with wider influences from Europe and Scandinavia. They shared a rebelliousness against established musical conservatism and created vivid responses to nature and the living folk heritage of England and Ireland. From Vaughan Williams� enchanting textures, via Bax and Bridge�s harmonic surprises, to Delius�s return to his roots at the end of his life � this is a rich collection of shimmering gems from the British Isles.
