The Film Music Of William Alwyn, Volume 3
9-Dec-2005 - Rumon Gamba’s recordings with the BBC Philharmonic in the Chandos Film Music series are regarded as top choices in the repertoire, as much for the brilliance of the sound quality as for the musical interest. Released on the 100th anniversary of William Alwyn’s birth, The Film Music Of William Alwyn, Volume 3 is the third volume of Chandos’ survey of the composer’s film music which ranges from the meltingly beautiful to the highly dramatic, and is both imaginatively scored and unfailingly attractive. Most of the repertoire on this CD is rarely performed and all the arrangements are premiere recordings from The Magic Box, The Million Pound Note, Swiss Family Robinson, and Geordie, to name a few. The previous two volumes in Chandos’ William Alwyn film music survey have received tremendous critical acclaim.
