Vaughan Williams premieres

[EdgeleyRob]

Just received the latest RVW society journal.
There is an article about A Cambridge Mass, which was performed for the first time on 3/3/11 in Croydon.
Was anyone on here at this premiere ?. Apparently a recording of the work is planned.

If it had been at Cambridge then I would have gone. RVW's early Fantasia for Piano & Orchestra has been recorded and is due for release (coupled with Mathias) later this year, so another premiere. This just leaves 5 early orchestral works which haven't been played for over 100 years and urgently need to be lookd at, and just about all of RVW's prolific and varied output will be available on disc.

it will (apparently) receive it's second performance on 22 October in Bath Abbey (perhaps you knew that already)
