Description
“Braithwaite has conducted British music to very good effect, and this shows him in equally favourable light …recorded sound is first class, and the orchestra of a high standard … (Suite) ‘Nocturne’ is the most deeply felt movement, and he conducts in a very expressive fashion. Cherry Ripe and Sir Roger de Coverley – Braithwaite brings out their cheerful, extrovert qualities effectively … He conducts sensitively in There is a willow … (Holst) The melancholia of the Lyric Movement is deeply felt … Fugal Concerto has more to offer than originally recognized” (Gramophone)
