’Albion’s Journey’ largely comprises a selection of tracks from eleven of the recordings issued by Albion Records between 2013 and 2019, includingtwo albums that were nominated for Grammy awards. However, there are seven tracks that are new to CD.On six spoken word tracks we hear the voices of Vaughan Williams himself, Herbert Howells, Michael Tippett and Roy Douglas. We learn something of the composer’smusical education, his views on folk song, his working methods, and the affection felt towards him by many of those who were close to him.
