'this generously-filled CD is undoubtedly the best single-CD selection now available.'
- Gramophone

'It's by no means just nostalgia, of course, that makes Addinsell's film music well worth exploring and this generously-filled CD is undoubtedly the best single-CD selection now available.'
- Gramophone

'...this is a fine, beautifully played and recorded celebration of Addinsell's underrated contribution to British Film.'
BBC Music Magazine

This is the latest release in Chandos' hugely popular film music series.

Richard Addinsell has written some of the best loved film scores of the twentieth century. This disc includes the famous Warsaw Concerto, music from Goodbye Mr Chips and the haunting waltz from David Lean's production of Blithe Spirit.

Rumon Gamba has received unanimous critical acclaim for his film music releases and this new CD will appeal to both collectors of light music in general and of film music in particular.
