CRITICS' CHOICE (GRAMOPHONE)
'Like its predecessors, this disc contains pieces that to listeners in their forties will be like mother's milk ...Perfection of a kind is what light music classics are all about. Clive Richardson's Melody on the Move, Trevor Duncan's The Girl From Corsica, Ronald Binge's Miss Melanie - these are exquisitely constructed miniatures, hauntingly melodic, magically if obviously orchestrated, with a sweet emotional charge that high seriousness can only allude to. Cavil apart, Corp's performances are sumptuous.' Paul Driver, Sunday Times
British Light Music Classics Vol. 4
Contains the signature tunes of Top of the Form, BBC Morning Music, Desert Island Discs, BBC Farming and The Barlows of Beddington
EDITOR'S CHOICE (GRAMOPHONE)
