This screening of Tony Palmer's comprehensive and much-praised profile of the composer Vaughan Williams is a fitting way to mark the 50th anniversary of his death, featuring contributions from friends, family and admirers as well as exclusive performances of his symphonies, choral pieces, chamber music and film scores. "As crucial in a revaluation of this great composer as Ken Russell's Elgar was over 40 years ago. [...] This is a memorable rehabilitation of one of the great seers and visionaries of the 20th century. A wonderful film".
