William Perry is best known as a composer of film scores, and especially for silent films from which Swordplay! Raises the curtain on the swashbuckling films of Douglas Fairbanks. This sparkling selection of world premiere recordings comes from Perry's substantial catalogue of music for the theater and the concert hall. Toujours Provence takes us on a cinematic journey through France's most picturesque region, while the ballet suite derived from his Tony-nominated Broadway score for Wind in the Willows vividly brings to life favorite characters from the story such as Mole, Rat, Toad, and the Chief Weasel.
