About

This new 2-CD compilation brings together the very best of British composers at budget price, with a mixture of popular classics and more unfamiliar repertoire.
The first CD is devoted to powerful, often proudly nationalistic music, with pieces such as The Planets’ ‘Jupiter’ and Walton’s Spitfire Prelude and Fugue, while the second disc focuses on gentler, more pastoral works like the Adagio from Elgar’s Cello Concerto and Vaughan Williams’s The Lark Ascending, voted the nation’s favourite classical piece in a 2006 poll conducted by Classic fM.
The various artists include:
Maria Kliegel, Maggini Quartet, Oxford Camerata conducted by Jeremy Summerly, Royal Scottish National Orchestra conducted by David Lloyd-Jones, Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge conducted by Christopher Robinson, London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Steuart Bedford
