4.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful CD!, December 15, 2001
By Hoodlum (Frederick, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This one is for all those who want a splendid introduction to the music this CD offers. It would make a lovely Christmas present for the discriminating listener. My favorite is "Jerusalem!"

5.0 out of 5 stars The British and their music, May 30, 2007
This CD offers an excellent sampler of traditional British music. If you have watched Chariots Of Fire you will recognize Jerusalem By Parry(the final scene at Harold Abraham's funeral). This is a beautiful selection. The Tam O'Shanter Overture dispells the often unjustified characterization of the stuffy Englishman and is a rousing piece. All in all a very enjoyable CD. Buy it!

3.0 out of 5 stars At just over 55 mins., this is a pretty short evening..., March 22, 2008
By vmzfla "vince819" (Orlando, Fl.) - See all my reviews
NAXOS seems to have a knack for creating compilations that provide music selections not often heard or easily found elsewhere. I'll skip talking about the usual commercial items like the " Pomp and Circumstance" marches and the not quite as familiar Walton pieces which can be found on numerous discs, and focus on the rarities included here.
First, the producers note that this is all music taken from typical British prom concerts and not a live performance. Henry Wood's "Fantasia on British Sea Songs" makes a charming listen. Wood was the original founder of the promenade concerts. His sea songs are expertly orchestrated and were hastily put together in three weeks before the first concert. Each song has a important part for a soloist, dedicated as respect to his musicians. The fantasia concludes with a bring-down-the-house rendition of "Rule Britannia", with rousing chorus and full orchestra. Arnold's "Tam O'Shanter" over. has to be new to most American ears. The music builds and builds wildly, depicting Tam's story of lucky escape from witches on a stormy night. You will love the devilish, frantic sound of the orchestra sounding like a huge bagpipe. Why has this piece been neglected in the USA? Hubert Parry's patriotic "Jerusalem" and the Coronation anthem "I was glad when they said unto me" are too short for a lasting impression. However the liner notes state that these are old favorites concluding these concerts. At a running time of about 55 mins. this disc brings back memories of my old LPs that came to an end just as I was getting into the music. NAXOS British production standards and the playing of the English Northern Philharmonia are more polished than most of their Eastern European counterparts on other releases!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good choice of tunes
It is a good choice of tunes played often in England. The quality of recording is good, the choice of tunes is good too and the orchestration is good too. It is a good CD to buy.
