Reviews
"... The indefatigable Philip Lane, who has arranged and edited Parker’s music, is one of the heroes of this recording; the others are the BBC Concert Orchestra, replacing their northern colleagues, the BBC Philharmonic, in this series. They play with huge gusto under Rumon Gamba. The booklet with excellent documentation, stills from the films and a charming photograph of the composer and colleague Muir Mathieson with Jean Simmons, on whose every word they seem to be hanging, is a pleasure in its own right."
Adrian Edwards - Gramophone magazine - June 2005
"... Clifton Parker was truly inspirational in producing descriptive and engaging music. The music is always interesting and thoroughly enjoyable.. Chandos’ usual high production standards include lavish sleeve notes… highly recommended."
AK - Music from the Movies No. 48/49 - 2006
"... This is an uncommonly well-programmed survey, but there is nothing atypical about Rumon Gamba’s spirited performances. He seems incapable of treating films scores with anything less than total respect and enthusiasm, and the BBC players respond in kind. First-rate restorations from Philip Lane combine with excellent notes and gorgeous sound to complete an attractive release. Don’t overlook it because the composer’s name is not a familiar one. Gamba might just convince you that it should be."
