This fairytale melodrama was adapted from a book by Algernon Blackwood  A Prisoner in Fairyland  for a West End theatre production staged during World War 1  with music by Elgar. Based on a new score  which has been adapted by Sir Andrew Davis  who also here conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra  this is the most comprehensive recorded version to date. The two-disc set includes the incidental music with narrative by Simon Callow  and an extended suite of freestanding orchestral movements and songs.
