Farnon had previously come to the attention of movie makers with his work on 'Spring In Park Lane' in 1948, the first important film he was to provide the music for.
He was to become a major name in film music with credits like 'Maytime In Mayfair' (1949), 'Gentlemen Marry Brunettes' (1955), 'The Sheriff Of Fractured Jaw' (1958) and Shalako' (1968).
The title music from the Horatio Hornblower movie is played by the London Festival Symphony Orchestra, Robert Farnon conducting.
