Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"Suffice it to say , Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic sound wholly attuned to Bax's distinctive idiom, and the Chandos recording possesses lustre, glow and realism in abundance."

Gramophone

"Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic turn in one of their most powerful performances they have achieved in the series. Not only for Bax fans and film buffs, but for enthusiasts for British music generally, I'd say."

BBC Music Magazine

"Rumon Gamba is plainly as convinced a Baxian as Handley: he really makes the music tell. Graham Parletts role in preparing the score likewise deserves gratitude. And so, too, does Chandos, for all it has done for Bax over the years."

International Record Review

"It is sad that these two scores represent virtually everything Sir Arnold Bax wrote for the cinema (except for a short film in 1951), but Chandos does great justice to his work. A highly recommended album and a dazzling example of the composers genius."
