BEYOND MY DREAM:
MUSIC FOR GREEK PLAYS
Ralph Vaughan Williams

‘The performances here are perfection itself. Conductor Alan Tongue is a past master of this idiom in every way.’ (James A. Altena)

‘As he has has done twice before for Albion, Tongue offers a compelling first impression of a previously unknown score. He shapes theses scores brilliantly, with conviction and obvious affection.’

(Ronald E. Grames)

FAIR CHILD OF BEAUTY
Ralph Vaughan Williams

Alan Tongue masterminds outstandingly sympathetic accounts of both these rarities, drawing an enviably secure and consistently stylish response from the Joyful Company of Singers and members of the Britten Sinfonia." (Andrew Achenbach, The Gramophone, March 2016)

A CAMBRIDGE MASS
Ralph Vaughan Williams

““It was a bright day for English music when Mr. Tongue lifted the score from the drawer...
To regard this mass as an apprentice exercise would be a misjudgement. It is the real Vaughan Wiliams on his way to greatness.” (Michael Kennedy)
