Britten/ Gerhard/ Lutyens/ Bennett : Love from a Stranger: 4 Classic British Film Scores



Britten's early score for Agatha Christie thriller Love From a Stranger is coupled with scores by Roberto Gerhard, Richard Rodney Bennett and Elisabeth Lutyens' music for 60s horror film The Skull.

"NMC has become the label of choice for every aficionado of contemporary British music. Lutyens's hair-raising score is a fascinating relic from the 1960s … Polished performances hail from the BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jac van Steen."
