I recently listened to the excellent String Concertino by Bruce Montgomery, does anybody know about other recorded works by this composer (and book writer) ?
Well it shouldn't at least be too difficult to find the music he wrote for the (infamous) series of British comedy films in the "Carry On...." series ;D

...but of more serious music I fear there appears to be nothing recorded.
The pickings are pretty slim - most of his compositions, I think, are light music, and a few can be found on these compilations:

Thx for your replies guys,
actually I just realized I alredy have the British Film Composers CD but the Scottish pieces are not very good, I ordered the other CD but I don't expect too much from it : too bad Montgomery didn't write more concert music, the rather Waltonian Concerto for Strings proves he had the skills to write a powerful Symphony.
