CLASSICS FOR DINNER is the perfect musical dinner companion, simply add good food & friends, & the mood is set to fun.

This album is released alongside the excellent JAZZ FOR DINNER & again features a carefully selected tracklist of evocative & much loved original soundtracks & classical pieces alongside some beautiful songs, sung by many of the nation's most popular voices...

Original soundtrack music from movies such as The Mission - Ennio Morricone's 'Gabriel's Oboe', Mr Bean ('Ecce Homo' by Goodall), Gladiator – ‘Now We Are Free’, Braveheart ‘Theme’ and Pride & Prejudice ('Dawn') feature strongly and will get your Dinner Party off to a flying start. The very popular Katherine ‘the fastest selling classical artist ever’ Jenkins chips in with ’Hymn To The Fallen’ from Saving Private Ryan & Welsh partner in song Aled Jones (with ‘Places’ from Out Of Africa) are on board as is Shostakovich’s ‘Romance’ from the film The Gadfly.

All these pieces share a similar quality, in that you may not recognise the song titles.. but you’ll certainly recognise the music.

There’s the lovely Hayley Westenra ‘The Water is Wide’, Top British clarinet soloist Emma Johnson plays Mozart’s ‘Adagio -Clarinet Concerto In A’ and there is fantastic mood-setting music from the finest composers: Pachelbel - ‘Canon in D’, Mozart ‘Symphony No 40 in G minor’ & ‘Romanza’, Bach ‘Sheep May Safely Graze, ‘Air on G String’ & ‘Piano Concerto no. 5 in F’, Handel ‘Water Music (Air)’, Satie ‘Gymnopédie no. 1’ & Tchaikovsky ‘Waltz’ from serenade for strings...

There’s also Vaughan Williams classic ‘Fantasia on Greensleeves’ for lovers of homegrown Brit-classical...
