Ralph Vaughan Williams - A Musical Genius
Charles E. Roach, Jr. | Ankara, Turkey | 05/25/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased Job, A Masque for Dancing, in vinyl some years ago. The album now is in storage as the turntable and magnetic cartridge has gone the way of the horseless carriage some years ago. I got the CD Audio album and listened to it. The music score by Ralph Vaughan Williams got better with time. The point-counterpoint as well as the mix between heavy classical movement to English country folk tunes makes this one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever published. As I listen, I get taken aloft and away to England and see from the Houses of Parliament to the pastoral countryside with lush meadows, cultivated woods and slow, broad rivers. Worth every penny I spent to purchase, now the grooves will never wear out and the music will always be pure. Vaughan Williams is a musical genius, his compositions will never be outdated and, like fine wine, become more mellow over time."
