5.0 out of 5 stars A gem from a bygone era!, March 14, 2007

This review is from: Salon To Swing (Audio CD)

As far as I can research the orchestra as formed in 1978 by Mr. Anthony Godwin, bass clarinettist with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. He had inherited a complete library of theatre music dating from 1880 to 1930 and it's from this that their repetoire is mainly drawn. They try and re-create the sound and atmostphere of those early days by using instruments of that era. For instance on the song "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" the soprano Linda Murray is accompanied by David Norton on the musical saw.

A most excellent CD recreating the 20' and 30's Golden Age. Highly recommended!
