Better than imagined....
The recordings found on this disc are some of the best available (...in fact, the Britten conducting Britten is the Gramophone's Recommended Recording!). Add to that the most delightful account of Schumann's "Scenes from Childhood", and you find a fantastic disc. Then look at the price! 5 stars for a well rounded CD, which wont break the bank.

A CD with great content, shame about the recordings
This CD has a wide range of music for children and adults a like. It nicely balanced with orchestral works and solo piano works. It's only fault, some very bad recordings. This CD contains some masterpieces, it's just a shame the orchestra's haven't done them justice.
