Awards and reviews

2011 edition

This is the first CD devoted to [Collins's] own highly enjoyable music...His most famous piece of all is the disarmingly simple Vanity Fair. First performed in 1952, this is the composition he most wanted to be remembered for, and indeed it is an exquisite little miniature of the sort that cheers you up every time you hear it.
