British Light Miniatures - Vintage TV & Radio Classics

by: Various Composers

Release Date February 26, 2007
You may not recognise many titles here but an unexpectedly large number of items will be familiar to many, having been used on radio and TV. The programme has been exceptionally well chosen to include some lesser-known items and avoid too much duplication with other collections in this genre. Many will be glad to find the axed Radio 4 early morning folk-tune collage kept for posterity here. The RPO sounds a little thin in places, especially in the transcribed military marches, but plays its programme with unmistakable affection and much warmth. At such a low price this deserves a place in the collection of every light music buff.

The Great British Experience

from: EMI

Release Date November 10, 1997
Other reviews will tell you of the close links (well documented with this double disc) of the light music pieces on this splendid compilation with famous radio and television shows of the (our? certainly my)past. What they don't mention is that a lot of these recordings have simply not been available to the public, but came from music publishers catalogues and CDs (the Bosworth discs are good).
The source material is superb here, the quality fantastic...
These are discs to be sought and savoured.

They truly do not compose or perform music like this any more.
