One of the leading guitarists of his generation, the Canadian Dominic Ashworth offers a fascinating interpretation of music from British musicals, in arrangements that give this music new shape and life. The composers featured here include Ivor Novello, Monty Norman, Vivian Ellis, Lionel Bart, Harold Rome, Noel Coward and Marguerite Monnot (whose music was heard in Irma La Douce). He discovers new delights in such unlikely scores as Two Cities and Liza of Lambeth. Our sleeve note explains that it also ‘rescues some stuff from that never-never land to which old show tunes go, not least the title track … can this bewitching piece really be by Cliff Adams, whose most remembered contribution to musical history is the four notes that alerted chocaholics the world over to ‘Fry’s Turkish delight’?
