Reviews
Performance **** Sound *****
"... there's plenty to admire in the BBC Philharmonic's typically full-blooded playing, and Rumon Gamba has the knack of conjuring real atmosphere from the notes on the page."
Matthew Rye - BBC Music magazine - November 2004
"... The contribution being made by Chandos to the preservation and reassessment of British film music has to be one of the most important projects undertaken by the classical recording industry in the past decade… as with Volume 1, this CD is a must for any Vaughan Williams enthusiast."
PL - Music from the Movies - April 2005
"... Without question, performance and sonics are up to the high standards set by the first volume, while the booklet is informative and helpful' Rumon Gamba, as with all of his exemplary compilations of British film music, really makes this grand entertainment come alive."
Haller - American Record Guide - November/December 2004
"... Like everything else on this CD it [Elizabeth of England] is performed with tremendous dedication and perception, and the Chandos recording is spacious and vivid. Excellent presentation, too, not least for including stills from the films."
Colin Anderson - Fanfare (USA) - March/April 2005
"... Rumon Gamba draws a polished and wholehearted response from all involved (the BBC Philharmonic is in fine fettle at the moment). The Chandos recording has striking body and lustre; exemplary presentation, too. Very strongly recommended."
Andrew Achenbach - Gramophone magazine - November 2004
