SUPRAPHON New Release February 2011 - Gillmore Music

NEW RELEASES
THE GOLDEN AGE OF LIGHT MUSIC
Confetti
The word ‘confetti’ describes small pieces of
paper, of various shapes and colours, often
thrown by guests at weddings. In musical
terms it can equally apply to an assortment of
pieces in different styles, conveying a variety
of moods and emotions. In other words,
almost a haphazard collection of tunes with no
particular theme, except perhaps that they are
all a little different. During the compilation of
Guild Light Music CDs we sometimes come
across enjoyable pieces of music which
simply don’t fit in with particular projects,
and once more it is time to dust off some
precious discs patiently awaiting rediscovery.
Actually ‘rediscovery’ may not be entirely
accurate as some have never previously been
available commercially and, for most of the
others, this is their first appearance on CD, so
it is unlikely that the majority
of music-lovers will have
heard them before. GLCD 5175
From The Vintage Vaults
The title of this CD could almost apply to
every release in Guild’s “Golden Age of
Light Music” series so far, because our
mission is to make available once again those
recordings which have been neglected for far
too long, and are no longer available from
other sources. Famous composers of
symphonies, marches, jazz and just about
everything in-between can be found in this
varied selection, mainly from the inter-war
years, which surely qualifies for the adjective
‘eclectic’. If anyone still needs convincing
that the general term ‘Light Music’ covers a
wide variety of styles and performances, then
surely the proof is here on this CD. The
featured composers range from Sir Edward
Elgar and Vaughan Williams, to Ernst
Fischer, Reginald King and John Philip
Sousa.
