About

Ron Goodwin is famous for several iconic film scores such as the rousing 633 Squadron. His was an instantly recognisable musical voice, combining an innate ability to write both memorable tunes and to evoke the many moods demanded by film directors, qualities that extend into the gloriously evocative Drake 400 and New Zealand Suites. Goodwin’s long and distinguished career earned him multiple Ivor Novello Awards and a Golden Globe Award among many other accolades. Conducted by the composer, this recording represents the best of a true leader in the field of popular music.

We are currently re-releasing our edition of popular and collectable British Light Music albums that originally appeared on the Marco Polo label, and this excellent recording of some of Ron Goodwin’s most memorable scores first appeared in 1996 (8223518).

Listeners may not know about Goodwin’s close association with the great producer George Martin, also represented in this recording, and those from the UK will also be pleasantly surprised to find out that the famous theme for their BBC London Marathon broadcasts is also by this composer.
