A joyous programme of some of Rawsthorne's lighter music!!
"On this bargain disc conductor David Lloyd-Jones has assembled an enjoyable programme of some of Rawsthorne's lighter music. The biggest work here is the Concerto for string Orchestra, which is extremely well played by the Northern Chamber Orchestra.
The little Light Music for Strings is delightful; and the Suite for Recorder and String Orchestra ends with a splendid jig. There are also a Concertante Pastorale featuring excellent flute and horn soloists; an Elegiac Rhapsody for strings; and a short Divertimento for Chamber Orchestra."
- The Daily Mail (Tully Potter), October 15, 1999
"Lovely performances by all concerned, with an excellent recording from Victoria Hall, Bolton."
- Bill newman, Hi-Fi News and Record Review, August 1999
