This release by conductor Donald Fraser with the durable English Chamber Orchestra and the elusive English Symphony Orchestra (he does a pretty good job of getting a consistent sound) was made an album of the week by Britain's crossover Classic FM radio network, and it will fill the bill for those in search of a stress eliminator, to use the term popularized by a U.S. classical radio station. Fraser's lush string arrangements may remind one of the eerily perfect Japanese orchestral versions of Beatles songs and the like from the 1960s and '70s. But there's more going on here than sweet string sounds. The term "songs" in the title is used in the most general sense; the material for Fraser's orchestrations, which include a pair of his own compositions, comprise songs, piano pieces, orchestral works, a choral Crucifixus of Antonio Lotti (this version gives it a unique effect), and, as an "epilogue," what Fraser terms a "remix" of Marin Marais' Sonnerie. This last will strike you either as a brilliant flourish in conclusion or as coming out of left field, but it points to the variety of Fraser's sources: there are plenty of surprises here for those who listen to them. It's all amplified for CD buyers by Fraser's detailed notes, which talk about the individual pieces and what he's done with them. An enjoyable release with something in it for all kinds of listeners.
