5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Saxophone, 29 Jul 2005
By Gord (Bournville, England) - See all my reviews
Many well-known Coates pieces here but you could buy this purely for the Saxo-Rhapsody recording and be more than satisfied - this IS the most beautiful orchestral piece for saxophone ever written in my opinion. A couple of listens and the opening theme will be haunting you for ever! I think that it's a shame that Coates is often categorised as a composer of light music as this work is up there with 'The Lark Ascending' for conveying lyrical emotion.
Strangely, there are very few other recordings available to compare this to. It could be argued that the original Sigurd Rascher (the work was commissioned for him) version is a better performance and is of course essential listening for saxophone players but sadly this was pre-war and doesn't have the comfortable sound quality we expect today, so get this version and you'll not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Light-hearted, bold and very British, 27 Jun 2001
Eric Coates represents British light music at its best. Whilst being easy to listen to, each piece is well-constructed and brilliantly orchestrated. Coates demonstrates an outstanding ability for melody-writing, and his music has a romantic quality which could not be anything but British. I am sure that Sir Edward Elgar would approve if he had lived to hear Coates' delightful music. It will send an exciting shiver down your spine, whilst bringing a tear to your eye. These are excellent performances by some of Britains finest orchestras under some of our finest conductors.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Music of Eric Coates, 5 May 2000
By A Customer
This is the work of a great british composer, it's brilliant! Also, the piece of music called 'The Three Elizabeths' is the opening and closing music used for the 1967 BBC TV series 'The Forsyte Saga'!

May I reiterate all that others have said. It's a measure of Coates' skill that, even with the space of 2 CDs available, some items deserving a place have had to be omitted (I'm... Read more
