Dutton Epoch's survey of tuneful short works by John Ireland (including the last two unrecorded songs orchestrated by Ireland himself and sung here by Roderick Williams) is filled out with a selection of encores by British composers and two unrecorded orchestral songs by Elgar. The overture by Tranchell, a gorgeous interlude by Walter Collins and tuneful folk dance arrangements by Herbert Murrill are coupled with more substantial fare by Lionel Sainsbury - a muscular and invigorating Allegro Risoluto for strings and Elis Pehkonen's evocative and finely drawn orchestral sunset, Sunset and Evening Star.
