These include the emotive and beautiful Eclogue for Piano and string orchestra by Finzi, an archive recording of Benjamin Frankel performing his own Trio, with clarinettist Thea King and cellist Eleanor Warren, and the popular Padstow Lifeboat March for brass band, written by Malcolm Arnold as a tribute to the crews of the RNLI lifeboat station at Padstow.
