Also on this disc is Benjamin’s Waltz and Hyde Park Gallop from 'An Ideal Husband', and the music from 'The Conquest of Everest', one of his most successful film scores.
Leighton Lucas is particularly noted for his film music, including the scores for Alfred Hitchcock’s 'Stage Fright', for 'Ice Cold in Alex', and for 'The Dam Busters' – all represented on this disc. In Portrait of the Amethyst from 'Yangtse Incident', the music supports scenes of everyday duties aboard the British frigate HMS Amethyst, and culminates in the famous March, with its hint of Heart of Oak, the official march of the Royal Navy. In contrast, the score to the Victorian curiosity 'Portrait of Clare', represented here with the Dedication, is inspired by piano and other works by romantic composers such as Chopin, Schumann, and Liszt.
All are performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales under Rumon Gamba who records exclusively for Chandos. The disc features exquisite performances by a number of soloists – the mezzo-soprano Abigail Sara, pianist Catherine Roe-Williams and organist Rob Court – as well as the voices of Côr Caerdydd.
