BBC Music December 2020

In the December issue of BBC Music Magazine, we celebrate 100 years since the first performance of Vaughan Williams’s much-loved work for violin and orchestra, The Lark Ascending. Vaughan Williams also appears on this month’s cover CD, alongside Delius and Warlock.

Also this month, Jeremy Pound explores the music inspired by Ovid’s great poem The Metamorphoses, from the likes of Handel, Lully and Thea Musgrave. Jeremy Nicholas looks at the fascinating life and work of Cyril Scott, the prolific, eccentric British composer.
