Vernon Elliott - Ivor the Engine / Pogles Wood (Original Soundtrack) [CD]
Ivor the Engine / Pogles Wood (Original Soundtrack)
Vernon Elliott
CD
2007 release featuring the original soundtrack recordings of two classic UK children's television soundtracks performed by the legendary Vernon Elliott Ensemble. Vernon Elliott was asked by Steve Race, then the director of ATV to help children's programming animator Oliver Postgate by writing a theme to the series we now know as Ivor the Engine. He would later go on to also pen the music for Pogles Wood and the rest is history. This charismatic collection of music has never been issued before: it has sat silently, in Oliver Postgate's underworld for over 40 years. The music is wistful, sad, pastoral and utterly charming, the CD looks wonderful, sounds brilliant and the Trunk label is issuing it in time for Christmas as it will make the perfect musical gift for anyone with a nostalgic bone in their body. Incidentally, the great music is accompanied by many of the special sound effects invented by Oliver Postgate for the shows, like Ivor chuffing and magical noises from the Pogles Wood. There really is nothing quite like this anywhere. Trunk.
