About this product
With orchestral works at the core of his output, the supreme melodic gift that distinguishes the music of Eric Coates earned him a reputation as the 'uncrowned king of light music'. It was the London Suite that made Coates a household name, with the Cockney exuberance of it's third movement, Knightsbridge, capturing the nation's imagination as a BBC theme tune, as did the rousing march Calling All Workers. Cinderella and The Selfish Giant were inspired by his son's bedtime stories, the latter absorbing the jazzy dance rhythms of the day. The Dambusters March was one of Coates' last pieces, and remains one of the most iconic movie themes ever written.

Anton Heiller was best known for his Bach interpretations, but he was probably the most important Austrian organ composer in the post- WWII era.

Allied to his melodic gifts, early experiences as a sound and balance engineer equipped Trevor Duncan with a profound understanding of instrumental color. During the 1950s he composed music that became instantly recognizable in the light music tradition. The Girl from Corsica was heard almost daily on British radio and the theme tune for the BBC TV series Dr Finlay's Casebook remains one of his most celebrated works (it's part of A Little Suite, heard here in full). Duncan was an inspiration for other composers, and was capable of sensuous romance, breezy scene setting, delicate tone poems and irresistible glamour.
