Reviews

It's capital! (Dec 9, 2008)
Reviewer:Caroline Doherty
I got given this by my son for my birthday and it is a really good introduction to all the music written about London, and really handy how the two discs are separated into 'Classical' and Light. I love the music of Eric Coates anyway, but this disc introduced me to lots more lovely British Light Music that I didn't know - full marks to Naxos!
