The Band of HM Royal
Marines, Plymouth
This haunting melody 'The Ashokan Farewell' has been arranged for violin
and band by Captain John Perkins whose solo violin playing, recorded in
the Abbey Road Studios on the 'Clovelly' label, has become regarded as a
classic recording.
It also has a unique distinction of being voted as the highest new entry
in the Classic FM 'Hall of Fame 2000' chart, the highest riser in the 2001. The recording has again been voted 19th in the 2010 Chart. This album is the
most popular recording by a military band in the modern era and is a must
for all collectors.
