Title: One exquisite song and one horribly over-arranged!
Review: I bought this disc originally just for the song "Tom Bowling" which provides the exquisite 'cello solo in Henry Wood's Fantasia on British Sea Songs which features annually in the Last Night of the Proms in London's Albert Hall, and which traditionally invokes much mock emotionalism in the audience. The rendering of that song is, fortunately, fine, but the usually beautiful "Last Rose of Summer" is ruined for me by a setting described in the sleeve notes as "an elegaic, almost Purcellian grandeur"!
