BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by RONALD CORP
WORLD PREMIERE RECORDINGS, EXCEPT The Cowes Suite
Produced in association with BBC Radio 3 and the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Australian-born Hubert Clifford started his musical career in Melbourne but came to England in 1930 and remained there for the rest of his career. He taught music in a boys’ grammar school, moved to the BBC and then became Alexander Korda’s music director at London Films, ending as the BBC’s Head of Light Music. This exploration of Clifford’s music, covering a 30-year span, presents his tuneful early orchestral works written in Melbourne, including Dargo: A Mountain Rhapsody, a glorious Moeranesque evocation of his childhood home. Two of his film scores, Left of the Line and Hunted, and his commission for the BBC’s 1958 Light Music Festival, the Cowes Suite, which celebrates famous yachtsman Uffa Fox, provide colourful contrast.

“Sound quality is again, of the highest calibre and we have come to expect from Dutton’s SACD releases and I’m sure this will be filling a few long-awaited gaps among soundtrack collector’s shelves.” Darren Allison, Soundtrack Editor, Cinema Retro Magazine, June 2017

“Dutton have done Clifford (and us) proud.” “This disc of tuneful imaginative music on occasion tends towards the lighter side. The freshnessimbued performances work superbly well as does the engineering. It lulls and sparkles with the delightful best.” “Composer-conductor, Ronald Corp is one of Dutton’s treasurable players.” Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International, July 2017
