London-born Robert Docker was one of British light music’s primary champions as a performer, both in this country and latterly in Australia. His compositions, including those on this recording, have become standards in the genre, although perhaps it is for his arrangements that he was best known and loved. He wrote and orchestrated music for radio broadcast and for the cinema, including part of the score for Chariots of Fire. Works of considerable stature appear on this disc alongside lighthearted music of charm and humour, and from each category are his best-known works, Legend and Tabarinage.
