To mark its special Vaughan Williams series of concerts
and events The Philharmonia has produced a superb series of podcasts and
'media' pages to accompany the series which take a closer look at the man and
his music and in which Chairman Stephen Connock is interviewed. Vaughan Williams
experience as a stretcher bearer in the First World War is covered, The
Pilgrim's Progress. Paul Edmund-Davies
looks at the Sea Symphony and Mark van de
Wiel, the Philharmonia Orchestra's Joint Principal clarinettist looks at the London
Symphony. Well worth a look.
