Light Orchestral Music is basically a British institution, and one that Eric Coates not only took to his heart but excelled at, and virtually made his own. It is impossible to listen to these 2 CD's without smiling and, if of my generation, remembering the playing time that Eric Coates music had in the 40,s & 50's on the Home Service (Radio 4).
This collection is particularly special, not just for the superb performances, and recording standard, but for the inclusion of a piece featuring Jack Brymer rarely playing the Sax! All the 'favourites are there including, "Sleepy Lagoon", "Dam Busters" March, Knightsbridge March, and many, many others.
