Of the 17 tracks on this compilation (mostly from ASV originals), 13 are
British. These include Malcolm Arnold's Three Shanties, Grainger's
Molly on the Shore and, less well known, The Brisk Young Sailor,
both on wind band, Eric Coates' Sleepy Lagoon and again, less familiar,
Under the Stars, two of Vaughan Williams' Studies on English
Folksongs (entitled "Spurn Point" and "Lovely on the Water"), played
by clarinettist Emma Johnson, two cello/ piano arrangements of Northumbrian
folk tunes by the pianist/composer Margo Wright, the Prologue from Richard
Addinsell's 1953 film score Sea Devils and - yes, of course, Ronnie
Binge's Sailing By. Good to see the NT is supporting British music;
enjoyable listening.
