Author: Andrew Lamb
Wherever the comparison may be, this Hyperion disc adds an extra dimension. That Corp takes significantly longer over numbers such as Dreaming, Dusk, Destiny and Nights of Gladness is due in part to slower tempos and in part to scrupulous observance of repeats; but in every case the stature of the music is enhanced thereby, thanks to the security of the playing, sympathetic phrasing and intelligent use of dynamics and rubato. The comparison is particularly pronounced in the case of The Boulevardier, where Corp not only captures the impression of a strutting man-about-Paris that Adrian Leaper conspicuously misses but adds the important saxophone colouring that helps to catch the Parisian ambience. The collection is welcome for the inclusion of Meyer Lutz’s Pas de quatre – crudely orchestrated, perhaps, but most engaging and not recorded for many a year. The recorded sound throughout is exemplary. For light music specialist and general music lover alike, this collection should prove pure delight.'
