“The late Robert Farnon’s status as a leading composer in the lighter genre is unquestioned, as is John Wilson’s as a composer, conductor and arranger thereof, while light music is deep in the bloodstream of the BBC’s second London orchestra. On top of that, those who recognize that the recording venue known as the Watford Colosseum was formerly known as Watford Town Hall will immediately appreciate that the sound quality on offer will be deep, crisp and even. More than one of the items Wilson conducts here are first recordings ... and all of them without exception benefit from this state-of-the-art treatment.” Piers Burton-Page, International Record Review, February 2007
