Reviews

‘Ronald Corp and the New London Orchestra play with their familiar accomplishment and affection and, if anything, an even surer grasp of pace than before. The CD is gratifyingly full and excellently recorded. More, please!’ (Gramophone)

‘Throughout, Corp … has one great asset – charm, and I defy you not to sit listening to these appealing morceaux without a permanent grin on your face’ (International Record Review)

‘Corp’s performances are sumptuous’ (The Sunday Times)

‘An artfully cherry-picked selection played with affection and zest, which will leave you with a warm glow – and perhaps a feeling of regret that no one writes music like this any more’ (Classic FM Magazine)

‘If you've a soft spot for this kind of repertoire you'll love it’ (BBC CD Review)
Seemingly effortless in his creativity was Eric Coates (1886–1957), who hailed from Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, and who was without question the finest exponent of British light music. His march Music everywhere (1948) became known as the ‘Rediffusion March’ because of its use as the call sign of Rediffusion Television.

D’une créativité apparemment aisée, Eric Coates (1886-1957), originaire de Hucknall (Nottinghamshire), fut indubitablement le meilleur apôtre de la musique légère britannique. Sa marche Music everywhere (1948) devint connue sous le nom de «Rediffusion March», car elle servit d’indicatif à la Rediffusion Television.

Français: Hypérion

Scheinbar mühelose Kreativität war das Besondere an Eric Coates (1886-1957), der aus Hucknall in Nottinghamshire stammte und zweifellos der beste Exponent britischer leichter Musik war. Sein Marsch Music everywhere (1948) wurde als ‘Rediffusion March’ bekannt, weil er in den 50er Jahren als Erkennungsmelodie der Fernsehgesellschaft Rediffusion Television Verwendung fand.
