Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Light music is enjoying a renaissance on CD just now--this volume in the Hyperion 20th anniversary limited edition series spawned several successors following its first release, while, for example, both Marco Polo and ASV are serving the genre handsomely. The appeal is clear enough--wonderful melodies which show the wells of originality in tonal music are not yet dry, with bags of craftsmanship and imagination on show in the orchestrations. Several numbers on this CD are part of the national consciousness--"Calling All Workers", "The Devil's Galop", "Puffin' Billy", "Elizabethan Serenade" and more, even if the names of their composers may not leap to mind--the incomparable Eric Coates, Charles Williams, Edward White and Ronald Binge respectively. The charm and pictorial qualities of so many of these tracks (reflected in their programmatic titles) have led to their recruitment as signature tunes for all manner of radio and television programmes (now there's a guessing-game for you). Ronald Corp and his players have cornered the market as far as Hyperion is concerned--with all justice, as these affectionate, accomplished performances amply demonstrate. It takes a hard-bitten orchestral musician not to respond to tunes like these. --Andrew Green

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising start to light music series, 8 Jan 2004
By E. I. Warburton "iwarburton_2000" (Prudhoe, Northumberland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Having suffered the acute dearth of this type of music in the 70s and 80s, I never thought I'd live to see it reinvent itself so wonderfully. This makes a promising start to the series. Perhaps the opening 'Calling All Workers' doesn't quite have the confidence of Reginald Kilbey's version with the CBSO but after that it's high quality throughout. The volume varies a little from track to track, so don't stray too far from the controls. This is a real treat and deserves a place in any wide-raning collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars British Light Music Classics, 28 Jun 2009
By Mrs. R. P. Meinke (Guernsey, Channel Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Nostalgia for"The Light Programme" and all the band concerts since makes this a treasure. My favourite is "The Haunted Ballroom", and immediately this starts I am a little child again in a TV free household dancing in an imaginary ballroom in front of my (future) Prince Charming. The British seem to have this light classical music down to a fine art and this recording has a taste of so many different british composers.
