Orchid Classics: ORC100030

A brilliant CD for children and their families.

The music is well chosen with arrangements of classical favourites for violins and piano, recorded at Champs Hill by leading players headed by Martin Roscoe, who rounds it off with the most popular of Chopin's nocturnes.

Illustrations by Ken Koch complete a sure favourite Christmas present, one that we will be sending to our granddaughter in USA.
