5.0 out of 5 stars ESSENTIAL FOR FILM MUSIC LIBRARIES, March 31, 2000

One of the nicest things about Patrick Gowers' superb soudtracks for Granada's SHERLOCK HOLMES television series is its subtle sense of humor. There are any number of musical jokes scattered throughout this recording,clever commentary on the action taking place on screen. My favorite is the echo of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" in the soundtrack of THE SECOND STAIN, though you will hear echoes of Elgar in the ILLUSTRIOUS LORD BELLINGER, and a trace of Gustav Mahler in the famous opening theme. This record contains some of the best soundtracks ever recorded for a television show or motion picture. The DEATH OF SHERLOCK HOLMES track is a brilliant and moving piece of music that works just as well when divorced from the visuals. I am delighted to see that this hard-to-find record is back in print and can recommend it to all who love Sherlock Holmes or good film music.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for lovers of the Granada Holmes series, November 5, 2002

This CD is excellent. I recommend it to all Holmes fans, Jeremy Brett fans, or people who just like good music. Personally, my favorite tracks are "Neville St. Clair's Nostalgia" and "North by Ten and by Ten". All the songs are great, though, and whoever owns this CD owns an unforgettable piece of TV and music history.

Patrick Gowers' soundtrack to the excellent Granada series (starring Jeremy Brett) of Sherlock Holmes tales is well worth the investment. The compositions are atmospheric, and the performances are first-rate. Sound quality is also the best. A must-have for all devotees of the Granada series!
