Chandos Movies, one of the best known film music labels in the industry, turns its spotlight on one of Britain's most prolific film composers. While some may not be familiar with the name Stanley Black, most people of a certain generation could hum a tune or two of his! Stanley Black produced music for projects as diverse as The Goon Show, Summer Holiday, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Jack the Ripper. He was an enormously versatile composer who could produce music from the wildly romantic through the comedic to the blood-curdlingly gruesome with equal élan. The BBC Concert Orchestra obviously relishes this music and performs it with great zest and enthusiasm.
'As the CD notes by Mervyn Cooke aptly put it, this music represents 'a lost age of innocently witty film writing'. As ever Chandos has done this repertoire proud with a luminous and full-bodied recording.' - Gramophone
