25 & 26 September 2007

"... Under its regular conductor Rumon Gamba, the BC Concert Orchestra takes to these entertaining tidbits with its customary aplomb, and Chandos sound remains top-of-the-line as usual. One of the most interesting and enjoyable entries in this necessary series."

Paul A Snook - Fanfare - November/December 2008

Performance **** Recording ****

"... Rumon Gamba secures orchestral playing that is both deft and precise."

Malcolm Hayes - BBC Music Magazine - August 2008

"... Superb."

Howard Maxford - Starburst - June 2008

"Maestro Gamba’s film music series ventures into less familiar waters with this engaging entry…This is British film music at its best, and like the entire programme it’s performed with Rumon Gamba’s customary affection and enthusiasm."

Koldys - American Record Guide - September/October 2008

"There are novelties and first recordings here, all masterminded by Philip Lane whose sterling service to film composers continues unabated... Sympathetic performances throughout in a generous 80-minute CD."

Peter Dickinson - Gramophone magazine - August 2008

"... You can’t fault the performances, which are fiercely conducted by Rumon Gamba, and played with great finesse by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Vocalist Mary Carewe, meanwhile, is glorious." ***

Tim Ashley - The Guardian - 9 May 2008
