Description
This new adaption and arrangement of Richard II – Incidental music for a radio production of William Shakespeare's play brings Vaughan Williams's music alive to a new audience. Although the composer prepared an extensive score – having written approximately 25 minutes of original music scored for an orchestra with a full complement of brass and percussion – the BBC radio production never materialised. Richard II: A Concert Fantasy masterfully stitches together the Majority of the original 34 incidental music cues into a 17-minute suite for concert performance.
