Description:
Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) composed the Phantasy Quintet as the result of a commission by Walter Wilson Cobbett, an enthusiast of Elizabethan music. The quintet derives its title from the instrumental fantasy which proliferates during that period of English music history. The London String Quartet, with the addition of violist James Lockyer, gave the first performance on March 23, 1914.
