The Film Music of Arnold Bax (Oliver Twist; Malta, GC-Part 2)

'Suffice it to say , Rumon Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic sound wholly attuned to Bax's distinctive idiom, and the Chandos recording possesses lustre, glow and realism in abundance.'
Gramophone

'Gamba and the BBC Philharmonic turn in one of then most powerful performances they have achieved in the series. Not only for Bax fans and film buffs, but for enthusiasts for British music generally, I'd say.'
BBC Music Magazine

Chandos' release in its film music series features two of the composer's most important film scores.

Both these works are rare in the catalogue and this disc features the first complete Oliver Twist, in an edition specially compiled for this recording.

Rumon Gamba's series of film music with the BBC Philharmonic receives tremendous acclaim.
