It is an "Anthology of music from the films of director Ken Russell; the enfant terrible of British cinema… Inspired by Orson Welles, admired by Michael Powell, Ken Russell set British cinema aflame in the 1960s and 70s with his superbly crafted, often highly controversial dramatised documentaries on the lives of classical music composers”.

The set comprises music from
Elgar - Portrait of A Composer
The Debussy Film
Delius: Song of Summer
The Music Lovers (Tchaikovsky)
Mahler
Dante's Inferno
Messiah
Women In Love
