Richard Arnell’s ballets, T_h e Great Detective and T_h e Angels, were unheard complete
since the 1950s. T_h is music is a tuneful must for the many collectors who have
enjoyed the Dutton Epoch Arnell symphonies series. In fact, at the beginning of
the score of T_h e Angels Arnell has written, “T_h e Angels is an abstract, symphonically
structured work. T_h e form is intricate and is as carefully considered as if the work
had been designed for the concert hall. It is, in fact, a symphony.” T_h e Sherlock
Holmes inspired ballet T_h e Great Detective is uproarious and supremely melodic and
another glorious work unearthed and resurrected by Dutton Epoch. Both works are
presented here for the fi rst time on CD.

T_h e fi fth installment in Dutton Epoch’s ongoing series focusing on British light
music features sumptuous works by Paul Carr and conductor Gavin Sutherland,
along with the suite from Richard Addinsell’s incidental music for Jean Anouilh’s
play Ring Round the Moon and orchestral delights by fi lm music legend Roy Budd
and Francis Chagrin. T_h e concertos by Gavin Sutherland (for clarinet) and Paul
N
Carr (for oboe) are both real fi nds. Sutherland writes essentially in a lighter vein, o
v
taking a melodic route through a variety of idioms. Carr’s Oboe concerto, played by
ember
its dedicatee Nicholas Daniel, highlights the increasing reputation of this composer.
Carr’s Air for Strings is uniquely compelling, an orchestral love song that bids to
2008
supplant Barber’s celebrated Adagio.
