About
The first Guild CDs received a warm welcome from music critics: writing in The Independent, Rob Cowan summed up his complimentary review with the words: "This is the real thing with a vengeance!" As the series has progressed, new releases have widened the original scope in terms of repertoire, often in response to suggestions from enthusiastic supporters, and credit must also be given to a number of collectors around the world who so willingly supply their own copies of rare items.
It almost seems as though a crusade has developed to ensure that Light Music is preserved for posterity. Thus, this 50th Guild 'Golden Age of Light Music' CD "String Fever" is far more than simply an enjoyable collection of pleasant music that is easy on the ear: it is a recognition that world-wide there are many people who appreciate a welcome alternative to the sounds usually pouring forth from their radio sets.
