In some ways the most unexpected item here may be Geoffrey Toye’s waltz from the ballet The Haunted Ballroom, since it’s a British light music classic that was hardly awaiting discovery. For the most part, as in previous issues in this series, the emphasis is on music by composers who are still living. The collection gets off to an excellent start with Peter Hope’s Kaleidoscope, which certainly lives up to its title with its ever-changing melodic shapes and brilliant instrumental shading and colouring – truly a miniature concerto for orchestra, as producer Philip Lane’s notes describe it.

Other items that particularly catch my ear are the two contrasted and splendidly crafted pieces by David Lyon – the first an evocation of symphonic adagios, the other a delightfully frisky piece with some inventive rhythmic twists – and the unashamedly ebullient Capriol Overture by the excellent conductor of so many of these recordings, Gavin Sutherland.

Of the older ‘discoveries’, there’s the curiosity of Barbirolli’s Handel clarinet compilation, in the style of the more familiar oboe concerto he put together for his wife. There’s also the overture by Thomas Pitfield, which employs northern folk songs such as ‘John Peel’, ‘The Keel Row’ and ‘The Lincolnshire Poacher’. I don’t think this quite takes wing, and the collection as a whole perhaps lacks the invention of some of its predecessors. However, there should be enough to appeal to those who have enjoyed the series so far.
