Ooh, synchronicity!  I just got my first Vaughn Williams (Thomas
Tallis and Greensleeves).  The only other V. W. I've ever heard
is the English Folk Song Suite (for which I am still looking for
a good CD version).

Can anyone recommend, from a LoveHound's point-of-view, other Vaughn
Williams pieces?  Any specific recordings or artists to keep an eye
open for (especially on CD)?

Thanks bunches!
