One of my favorite pieces in all of music, with the fabulous Janine Janson as violin soloist. Sheer gorgeousness.

Uploaded by Dierne on Jan 16, 2007
Breathtaking footage of the River Torridge in Devon and its wildlife throughout the seasons, set to Ralph Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.
Enjoy.
Note 1: Unfortunately resizing for YouTube has degraded the video quality quite considerably.
Note 2: I do not claim any credit for the footage. I merely edited it together from a one-off BBC programme and set it to music.
Sorry, it cuts off abruptly at the end. But put it on full screen to experience the marvel of that special place in time on the island that we call England.

I love VW. I have two sets of the symphonies (Boult and Previn) and many other pieces.

(63,893 posts)17. I loved Brazil when I was there so many years ago. And I loved bossa nova.
This piece reminds me a bit of Brazilian music I heard there. What a rich culture.

The bossa nova versions were inevitable. This is from one of my favorite albums from the sixties.

write that has such elegance and simplicity and yet loaded with feeling and emotion?
