"This is a really splendid collection - the epitome of British light music standing out in a crowded market. I wish there had been more from Sutherland. Are there other tapes for a second collection? I hope so and so will you if you seek this one out."
(MusicWeb July 2012)
"For over four decades I conducted the BBC's Light Orchestras in programmes like Melodies for You, Invitation to Music, Music while you Work, Friday Night is Music Night and their annual International Festival of Light Music…Radio Clyde transmitted "live" my "Pops at the Philharmonic" concerts, and I also conducted the light orchestras of Europe; With the exception of the BBC Concert Orchestra, these orchestras no longer exist, so I have put together a selection of favourite pieces, hoping to bring back the glamour of the Golden Age of Light Music" (Iain Sutherland)
