Light music at its finest, from a conductor and orchestra fully at home in this idiom.
Gramophone
He [Rumon Gamba] has already given us the best Eric Coates CD in the catalogue [CHAN 9869] and this one, also from Chandos, shows how superb recording (and enough strings in the orchestra) brings this music glowingly to life. Recommended.

Gramophone
These very sympathetic performances, in excellent sound, preserve a piece of Old England – something to be treasured.
International Record Review
'Ernest Tomlinson rates this CD of his old friend very highly indeed and that alone should be enough for the rest of us mere mortals… How wonderful to know that such serious tuneful music is there for everyone to enjoy and isn't it about time the BBC sat up and took notice?'
