Slovak Rso/Leaper - Robert Farnon: The Westminster Waltz; Colditz March; State Occasion; A Star is Born - British Light Music, Vol. 9

Frank Sinatra dubbed Robert Farnon �The Guv�nor� in 1962 when the two men first came together in London to work on an album. This summed up Farnon�s reputation as being synonymous with the highest standards of craftsmanship across the widest spectrum of music-making, earning him four Ivor Novello awards and the Order of Canada. His fame was established with BBC wartime radio broadcasts and the ubiquitous Portrait of a Flirt. Further success came with TV themes such as the stirring Colditz March and the impressionistic beauty of such gems as � la claire fontaine. The performances on this acclaimed recording are given with �warmth, polish and a remarkable naturalness of idiomatic feeling� (The Penguin Guide).
