This DVD features the London PhiIharmonic Orchestra performing compositions and arrangements by Robert Farnon with the maestro conducting, and after thirty-six years it is wonderfuI to see Farnon again in full command of the forces of one of Britain's great symphony orchestras. During his Iong career he conducted aIl of the four major symphony orchestras of the capital. By the time that this concert was staged Farnon had been in demand in concert halls throughout Europe and America, where he appeared at Carnegie Hall. He had made highIy praised recordings with Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Joe WiIliams, Lena Horne, Eileen Farrell, Vera Lynn, SheiIa Southern and Tony Bennett, and with Tony Bennett it was only naturaI that they shouId be paired for this very prestigious event ceIebrating the 100th Anniversary of the RoyaI AIbert HalI. Robert Farnon was wideIy regarded as the worId's greatest composer of Light Orchestral music during the second haIf of the twentieth century.
