Probably most famous for audiophiles for his sets of Dances (English
Dances, Cornish Dances, etc) based on folk-tunes. The composer recorded
these for Lyrita, conducting the LPO.
Yep; wonderful recording.
Also known for his film scores, including "The Bridge on the River Kwai"
(no, he didn't compose "Colonel Bogey").
Right. That was the great Kenneth Alford.
