Docker: 3 Contrasts - Scènes De Ballet - Pastiche
) | Label: NCL Catalog: 8574322 Format: COMPACT DISC Knight, Barry; RTÉ Concert Orchestra; Presley, David; Davies, WilliamRobert Docker was one of the giants of light music – a composer and arranger whose works graced stage, screen, radio and television. Two of his best pieces were written for piano and orchestra: Legend, which can rank alongside Addinsell’s Warsaw Concerto (Naxos 8.554323); and the brilliantly witty inventions of the Pastiche Variations. Not only was Docker a distinguished orchestrator, he was also a rich melodist as his classic Scèneduba lillustrates, while the composer’s impish humor can be savored in Tabarinage. Docker’s early training as a classical violinist fully equipped him to explore the British pastoral tradition in the languid and beautiful Air.  Price: $21.98 |
