About

Philip Lane has long been a stalwart of British light music and this recording provides an excellent survey of his concert works. London Salute marked the 60th anniversary of the BBC, while the lyrical and frivolous Diversions on a Theme of Paganini was originally written for brass quintet. Partly inspired by childhood memories, the Cotswold Dances reflect the composer’s own part of the country, Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds. Composed for clarinet soloist Verity Butler, the Divertissement quotes liberally from Lane’s earlier works, the most popular of which is the Sleighbell Serenade, a piece that has been performed all over the world.

This volume of our rejuvenated British Light Music edition was first released in 2001. Of the original release, the American Record Guide wrote that ‘both the sound and musicianship are excellent’, and Gramophone commented that ‘Philip Lane's music is expertly written and has an easy-going charm that makes it well worth getting to know in these affectionate performances.’
