JOHN IRELAND (1879-1962): Arrangements for String Orchestra - Cello Sonata in G Minor (arr. Matthew Forbes)*, Summer Evening, In a May Morning from Sarnia*, Soliloquy*, Bagatelle*, Berceuse*, Cavatina* (all arr. Graham Parlett), A Downland Suite (arr. Ireland/Geoffrey Bush [1920-1998]).

Description: These arrangements provide larger-scale drama in the cello sonata and a polished Palm Court Orchestra feel in the others, especially in the Bagatelle, Berceuse and Cavatina which sound in these arrangements like the “light music” they really were. Raphael Wallfisch (cello)*, Orchestra of the Swan; David Curtis.
