This album, reflecting the love affair Pinchas Zukerman has had with English music since the late 1960s, contains the most beloved violin pieces by Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams, the towering figures of the English musical renaissance. Salut d’amour was immensely popular from the beginning but made Elgar virtually no money. The Lark Ascending had to wait until after Vaughan Williams’s death to become renowned throughout the English-speaking world.
The two composers were very different. Elgar, a sensitive, nervous type, was not only lower-middle class but a Roman Catholic and thus doubly beyond the pale. By sheer hard work he made himself into a leading late-Romantic composer, successor to Schumann, Brahms and Dvorˇák and a superb orchestrator. Vaughan Williams, a large, almost shambling figure, had the confidence of being born into the upper class and, starting as an Anglican, became an agnostic. An enthusiastic folksong collector, he loved to compose in a modal, pentatonic manner but behaved rather like a gentleman amateur, often needing help with scoring his orchestral music.
