Composer, conductor, arranger and orchestrator, John Lanchbery (1923-2003) achieved his greatest triumph with Sir Frederick Ashton’s comic ballet La Fille mal gardée, for which he adapted a 19th-century score by the French composer Hérold. Also with Ashton, Lanchbery brought Beatrix Potter’s animal characters to cinematic life in 1971 with transformations of music by Sullivan, Balfe and other Victorian composers. The complete film soundtrack in stereo can be heard here for the first time.
