Most of the recordings of music
by Frederic Curzon (1899-1973) listed in the Arkiv CD Catalogue are released on
the Guild Light Music Series. The major exception to this is the fine retrospective
of the composer’s music issued on 1991 on Marco Polo 8.223425.
There are one or two other pieces
scattered on the EMI and the Hyperion labels. The most popular work is Boulevardier
with four recordings, which in many ways is the composer’s signature tune.
Nearly as popular is the endearing Dance
of the Ostracised Imp. His most significant surviving works are the Robin Hood Suite and the sun-drenched Suite:
In Malaga.
