Yuli Torchinsky leader

“... Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic are on excellent form producing some tight and entertaining playing... Chandos produce sound of excellent quality ... This is a fine addition to William Alwyn’s discography.” ****

Peter Joelson - AudiophileAudition.com - 8 June 2017

“...Highly recommended.”

Edmund Whitehouse - The Light Music Society magazine – Spring 2017

“... The BBC Philharmonic under Rumon Gamba have a ball playing this music ... Artwork, picture stills, comprehensive music notes and a fine recording add their own allure to this significant addition to Alwyn’s cinematic output.”

Adrian Edwards – Gramophone magazine – March 2017

"...a particularly arresting issue, bringing new recordings of music from the prolific decades of the 40s and 50s, during which Alwyn scored a number of famous films. These scores show to perfection Alwyn’s supreme skill in providing music totally attuned to the subject."

Barry Forshaw – cdchoice.co.uk – 8 February 2017
