WW 2 from the British musical and historical perspective.4
This is an interesting overview of WW 2 from the British musical and historical perspective. Many of the songs will be unfamiliar to many on this side of the pond but the speeches and many of the songs still invoke the sentiments of the era. Book-ended by modern performances of WW 2 classical works, the Spitfire Prelude works well but a better choice for the end of the CD would have been either the Col. Bogey March or the Warsaw Concerto.
