Notes & Reviews:

In choosing the title 'Buried Treasures' for this collection of light music, the intention was twofold: first, to reveal musical gems which have long been forgotten, and second to make available previously unknown compositions by many leading composers. Some of the tracks have appeared on commercial recordings, but in almost every case, they were on sale only briefly- certainly most only saw the light of day fleetingly over the last fifty years. The remaining titles have never before been offered to the general public.

Notes & Reviews:

Includes medley by various composers.
