Today’s pick

Vaughan Williams Today

Radio 3, noon

As part of Radio 3’s Vaughan

Williams Today season,

marking the 150th

anniversary of the

composer’s birth, Donald

Macleod has been taking a

fresh look at his life and work

this week in a retrospective

that spans four weeks

and twenty programmes.

Today’s programme, called

Adventures Abroad, recounts

Vaughan Williams’s trips to

the State Opera, concerts and

museums and galleries of

Germany and how it

influenced him. British music

had been considered inferior

to the great German

compositions. Until, of course,

Vaughan Williams started

writing. Ben Dowell
