70 years ago, from June to October, the German Luftwaffe tried to bomb Great Britain into submission. It never happened. British courage and resourcefulness triumphed. These events are celebrated in music and song on the latest release of The Carl Davis Collection. Here are the songs people sang, the film scores they loved and heard on the radio. A brilliant cast of soloists together with the BBC-CO and The Brighton Festival Chorus play and sing their hearts out just as people did in 1940.
This Album features: Claire Sweeney , Mary Carewe, Frances McCafferty, Richard Suart, Sarah Eyden, Brighton Festival Chorus and BBC Concert Orchestra all conducted by Carl Davis in a tremendous album of new orchestrations of the old favourites from World War II, never before performed in this format.
Released to coincide with the Anniversary of The Battle of Britain, this June, Carl Davis will be performing selections of the album at several concerts throughout June and July including Dunsfold Park, Surrey, June 5, Lichfield, July 9 and Liverpool, July 10.
The Carl Davis Collection will be taking adverts out in BBC Music Magazine and Classic FM and the album will be featured regularly on Radio 2. There will be a series of syndicated interviews with Carl and Claire Sweeney in the coming months on radio and interviews on television all centred on the release of Give Me A Smile
