  • Description

    The music of London-born William Wordsworth (1908–88) – a great-great-grandson of the poet's brother Christopher – lies downstream from that of Vaughan Williams and Sibelius. Like that of his contemporary Edmund Rubbra, Wordsworth's music unfolds spontaneously, as a natural process, with a sense of grandeur perhaps enhanced by his move to the Scottish Highlands in 1961. Three of the four works recorded here display the sober dignity of the instinctive symphonist. The Variations on a Scottish Theme (Wi' a hundred pipers an' a', an' a'), by contrast, reveal a sly sense of humour behind the serious countenance.
