The Farmer's Boy

Available for over a year

Like the Rank and Archer films from the 30s to the 50s this Overture perfectly sums up an era of British pluckiness, which has long since faded. It’s well-crafted and like Susan herself, deserves to be incorporated into the mainstream repertory. Composer: Susan Spain-Dunk Performers: BBC Midland Light Orchestra Conductor: Rae Jenkins Recording date: 17 January 1945 Date of broadcast: 17 January 1945
