This is a fine addition to the Light Music series that Guild has embarked upon. As for the recordings, they have been well cleaned up. As a rule I do not go for ‘historical recordings’, however this release gives me no problems with my listening pleasure. John France

MusicWeb - 22 November 2005

The real corker on this CD is the reproduction of a rare experimental stereo track from the legendary Alan Blumlein’s efforts to record two-channel sound. This is surely one of the most important discoveries in the field of light music and all classical music in general and should serve as a stimulus for those who have such important material in their to release it to the public" "a wonderful collection of music.
