About this product

Distant Land: The Orchestral Collection is a 2003 compact disc of orchestral music by the English composer John Rutter, who conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.[1] It gathers the title piece, the Five Meditations for Orchestra, the Suite for Strings, the Suite Antique for flute, harpsichord and strings, and his Beatles Concerto for two pianos and orchestra with Peter Rostal and Paul Schaefer.[1] Universal Classics & Jazz issued it in Britain as 476 124-2,[3] and the same barcode is listed on the American pressing B0001821-02, marketed by Universal Classics Group.[4] Amazon.com lists it under this GTIN with a publication date of 13 January 2004.[2]

More about this product

A club edition pressed for BMG Direct dates the sessions to 29 and 30 May 2003 at Watford Colosseum.[5] Universal Classics and Jazz was a London division of Universal Music, dismantled in 2011 when Decca was revived in the UK.[6] A 2004 European reissue carries a different barcode.[7]
