Yates is also responsible for the expert orchestration of the Henry V overture, originally conceived for brass band and probably first heard at a historical pageant some time in 1933 or 1934. Certainly, it’s hard to conceive of a more sympathetic performance of either this or the radiant Serenade to Music in its purely orchestral guise, in which leader James Clark plays with rapturously songful tone. Unlike some recent Dutton SACDs, this is a genuine multichannel production, whose glowingly realistic sound emanates from the acoustically kind surroundings of Dundee’s Caird Hall.
