Violinist Frederick Grinke (1911-1987) was much in demand as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestral leader, and recording artist. This new issue gathers into one place all of Grinke's Vaughan Williams recordings. Here can be found his 1939 reading of the Concerto Accademico (Violin Concerto) and the 1940 The Lark Ascending, as well the Hymn-Tune Prelude 'Eventide' committed to disc at the same time with Grinke in his role as orchestra leader. All three appear here in excellent new restorations by Ronald Grames. All but The Lark Ascending were first recordings when released and only the concerto has ever been commercially available in a digital format. All were vividly conducted by Louis Boyd Neel.
