About
Ralph Vaughan Williams songs contain traces of the folk music of times past and, as such, they have direct links with the long tradition of English song. Norwegian Benedicte Torgets modern, cool sounds, composed to melancholy texts of the Brontė sisters, bring us up to the present, while binding us to the past.
