Davis: A Simple Man (DVD) (OPUS ARTE) Davis:  A Simple Man (DVD) Opus Arte/BBC; 88 mins The Northern Ballet Theatre/Christopher Gable ‘Carl Davis is one of the most seasoned composers working in the UK and has achieved wide popularity largely due to his work on TV. And film dramas.  This must be amongst his best scores; it echoes the Northern environment portrayed and includes hints of brass bands and the barrel organ.  Perhaps the most memorable movement musically is the clog-dance where wives waiting for their husbands to come out of work dance with undertone of quiet desperation.  The waltz music to which the tennis player danced so elegantly is most enjoyable… with Carl Davis at his best.’ Arthur Baker (Music Web International), June 2005
