Ravel's student and friend

Subscribe
At the age of 35, English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams went to Paris to study with Maurice Ravel. They worked together intensely for several months, after which Ravel gave him a great compliment. He said Vaughan Williams was his only student who didn't try to write exactly like Ravel himself. On today's show, we'll take you to Charleston, South Carolina, to hear the Piano Quintet by Ralph Vaughan Williams.
