If you like English pastoral orchestral music, you will love this disc…it would be hard to find a more ingratiating, lovely and high spirited collection of orchestral gems…The Royal Ballet Sinfonia plays with exquisite elegance for conductor David Lloyd Jones and the recording captures the idyllic acoustic of the bygone era this music reminds us of. Another bargain from Naxos that pleases the senses and the heart.
