One of the most unique CD series available, The London Sound featuresthe incredible sounds of ensembles of a type seldom heard or recorded.

In 1993, Cala’s Artistic Director, Geoffrey Simon, decided to indulge himselfin the sound of his own instrument by recording an orchestra of 40 cellosplaying a mixture of classical and popular music, much of it especiallyarranged for the occasion.

What started as a whim has developed into a 10-CD series, famous for itscombination of ear-catching arrangements written by top London arrangersand played by the cream of London’s orchestral, theatre and sessionmusicians.

Enjoy the thrilling massed sound of these large single-instrumentensembles of London virtuosi.

The New York Philharmonic is one of the very few orchestras in the worldwhose principals collectively possess the character and excellence toproduce a series such as New York Legends. An "orchestral snapshot" ofthis dimension has never before been undertaken.These twelve musicians are legends in their own right or legends in themaking, renowned both for their prominent work with this great orchestraand their individual contributions to music as soloists, educators, visionaryleaders and role models on their respective instruments.The music presented by these players reflects their personal tastes andconvictions as musicians and New Yorkers. In several instances, workshave been composed especially for the performer. The very wide variety ofmusic to be heard over the twelve releases embodies a dynamic spirit ofdiscovery which reflects the musicians' vital involvement with today'sAmerican musical life.
