Hi Diana,
Do you have details of the main theme e.g. the ensemble, the original
performers, etc? I know it's based on Khachalurian's Adagio of
Spartacus and Phrygia, but who's conducting? When was the recording
made? Surely it must be a late 60's or very early 70's recording, but
by whom? There are so many 'versions' of the 'Onedin Line Theme' out
there! Any info would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Brian.
