Really-From: <RICHARD%HNYMPI52.BITNET@mitvma.mit.edu> >His name is Mori Kante - retty close to your spelling. Don't know what label >he's on, but try looking for british imports for 'Something Inside So Strong' >which he had a hit in the UK with 1 or 2 years ago 'Something Inside So Strong' was a hit single by Labi Siffre, a completely different artist with a completely different background! >Can anyone recommend, from a LoveHound's point-of-view, other Vaughan >Williams pieces? Any specific recordings or artists to keep an eye >open for (especially on CD)? His 'London Symphony' (I suppose this is his sixth) is a grand and impressive work, but not as distinctive and certainly not as enchanting as 'The Lark Ascending' - definitely my favourite piece. Try his 'Symphonia Antarctica', striking for its novel use of a combination of orchestra, soprano voice and ... wind machine!! There is a good recording I know of conducted by Bernard Haitink, though I can't remember the orchestra.
