Stephen Johnson presents an elegiac portrait of Vaughan Williams the
man and composer. Travelling across England - the country he so loved
- to see the places he lived and worked, and meet the people who knew
him, Johnson tries to get a little closer to an underrated mind.
With contributions from philosopher AC Grayling, biographers Simon
Heffer and Michael Kennedy, Vaughan Williams's musical assistant Roy
Douglas as well as friend and colleague Simona Pakenham.
