“… Chandos, Rumon Gamba and the orchestrator, Philip Lane, should be congratulated on the loving way they have crafted this collection and shared these great works. This is a collection full of film music with both a heart and a soul. Highly recommended.” ****½

AK – Music for the Movies – Winter 2001

“… No Arnoldian and you know who you are – will be passing up this musical funfest, dazzlingly conducted and performed by Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic. Cheers!” Paul A Snook

“… well-disciplined performances from the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra under their young assistant conductor, Rumon Gamba, captured in juicy recorded sound.” Martin Anderson

Fanfare – May/June 2001

****

Peter Tonks – Total Film magazine – January 2001

Performances ***** Sound *****

“… Arnold can turn his hand from deliberately vulgar material to music of nostalgic sentimentality with almost schizophrenic facility… Arnold’s distinctive bitter-sweet musical personality shines through, nowhere more convincingly than in the heart-rending main theme to David Copperfield… sharply defined performances from the BBC Philharmonic, this recording deserves a very hearty endorsement.”

Erik Levi – BBC Music magazine – December 2000

“… the BBC Philharmonic continues its releases from Chandos with a collection of film music by Malcolm Arnold, including the fine score for David Copperfield, joyous sounds from The Belles of St Trinians and the Captain’s Paradise, and the suite from Trapeze, the Burt Lancaster film, reminding us that Arnold also wrote for Hollywood. Rumon Gamba conducts.”

Peter Spaull - Liverpool Daily Post - 29 September 2000

"... Add effulgent performances and luxurious sound to the mix, and you have an indispensable adjunct to the film music catalog."

Koldys - American Record Guide - March/April 2001
