5.0 out of 5 stars Best of British, 19 Oct 2005
By Ian Miles (Oxfordshire, GB) - See all my reviews
This wonderful collection was - in my view quite rightly - the Editor's Choice in a recent edition of the Organists' Review: Whitlock, who sadly died a month short of his 43rd birthday, having been equally at home as a 'straight' organist and at the 4-manual Compton of the Bournemouth Pavilion.
He wrote a range of lovely orchestral music, all of it attractively crafted and coloured yet sounding utterly natural (though thankfully, neither banal nor formulaic). Scores and parts have been painstakingly garnered and reassembled by Malcolm Riley and the Percy Whitlock Trust - resulting in this fine album which shows Whitlock's proper stature alongside the better-known 'greats' & veterans of the heyday of British Light Music.
Here are the limpid aquarelles and feisty marches, succulent wholesome tunes and deft accompaniments that we recognise from Whitlock's published organ works, but now with the breadth of an orchestral palette.
The bijou number has to be 'The Blue Pool': the slow movement from the Wessex Suite. It opens with a languid swung saxophone solo that somehow perfectly mirrors the turquoise waters of this Purbeck landmark - a typically witty Whitlock response to the 'blue' suggestion - while its middle section has a splendid upbeat Latin feel to it.
There are also delightful marches with a fresh but respectful nod to the Elgar-Walton tradition; whimsical waltzes; and many other aural delights besides.
I have lent my original copy of this CD to numerous musical friends - once too often alas - and am more than happy to pick up a spare or two, hence revisiting Amazon on this occasion. If you're into this kind of wonderfully accessible music, or think you might be, or know someone else who could or should be, I cannot recommend this lovely CD too highly.
The RTE Orchestra under Gavin Sutherland (with electronic Compton organ here & there, of which PWW would surely have approved) give a joyous and nuanced account of these gems, which they clearly took pleasure in discovering ... and now, thankfully, so in our turn can we!

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming music from a unjustly neglected composer., 24 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This is a charming CD of "light" musical gems from one of Englands neglected composers.The items range from the whimsey of the Balloon Ballet to a novel version of the Agincourt song that almost gives Walton a run for his money.Whitlock's marches are great fun and the RTE Concert Orchestra under Gavin Sutherland play them brilliantly.This is a feast of tuneful music to delight lovers of English rareties.
