One of the great popularisers of classical music in the pre-Classic FM generation, Antony Hopkins was a wonderful broadcaster; as this intriguing compilation for his recent 90th birthday reveals, he is also a composer of wit and substance. We hear his famous voice reciting three witty poems, but his musical skills are evident in chamber pieces, recorder music chirruped cheerfully by John Turner, and a strong piano sonata (the fine Philip Fowke). Birthday tributes from composers include premieres from Gordon Crosse, Joseph Phibbs and Elis Pehkonen, and the whole has a rather sweetly nostalgic Third Programme feel.
