Author:

They’re all here: The Arab’s Farewell to his Steed (‘Fret not with that impatient hoof’), The Volunteer Organist (‘and strongest men grew pale’), The Death of Nelson and many more. We are also warned in the notes against ‘condescending amusement’, of which I reckoned to have an inexhaustible stock till it ran out at No. 18, A Song of the Desert, a truly terrible song. John Kerr’s tenor many not be among the most mellifluous but no other has clearer words. The real centre of interest is the Finchcocks Collection of early keyboard instruments, five of which and one machine (the Gem Roller Organ) are heard accompanying.'
