This CD is wonderful. Angela Morley had the ability to utilize all the different instruments in the orchestra to their unique advantages. The result is music that is delightful to listen to. The gorgeous arrangements are further enhanced by terrific musicianship on the part of the orchestra and conductor.

I heard a cut of this on Music Choice on cable and immediately wanted to check it out.
I purchased it and am very pleased with the beautiful relaxing music on this disc.

By the way, I haven't heard this kind of music on any elevators in decades.
50s-80s Top 40s Rock has replaced it not only on elevators, but in restaurants and stores.

I bought this because of John Wilson's performance on "Across the Sea" and it's totally different. I expected big band swing and got elevator music.
