About

At four in the afternoon, a single blast of cannon fire signals the opening of the gates of many a stately home in summer and thousands of picnickers pour into grounds, set up camp and prepare to listen to a preordained set of classical hits.

This is a re-issue of an album first issued in 1992 celebrating the years that Carl Davis conducted Summer Concerts, and is a unique collection of popular works presented in unfamiliar but stunning arrangements:
• Finlandia is recorded adding a new choral arrangement with an fervently patriotic American text
• The 1812 Overture is recorded with a choral arrangement using Tsarist text
• Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 is sung with its ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ text
• Elgar’s outrageously elaborate arrangement of Parry’s Jerusalem
• The version of Souza’s Stars and Stripes March is arranged by David Cullen into an orchestral explosion

Recorded in Abbey Road Studios, this is a memorable album of  Carl conducting Classical Festival Favourites.
