I first played Sanctuary of the Heart in a light orchestra 60 years ago, where almost the entire repertory was for entertainment - but this piece had a genuine emotional climax.
Thank you, Bartje, for your lengthy notes. These recordings are actually of the London Promenade Orchestra conducted by Alexander Faris, released in 1982.
The first seconds remind me a lot to a song called "Caprichoso mandarin" by Ramón Márquez and his orchestra. Maybe this piece inspired Julian Molina to write it.
Such was Ketèlbey's popularity that by 1924 his works could be heard several times a day in restaurants and cinemas, and in that year the Lyons tea shops spent £150,000 on playing his music in their outlets. This is just one example. Read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Ket%C3%A8lbey
Reading with this as background music. Then in the middle of "Sanctuary of the Heart" they start playing Kol Nidre. That was a shock.

Indeed, another Persian princess theme. But Stravinsky himself had borrowed it from Rimsky-Korsakov's Sinfonietta on Russian Themes.
Goood

Used to hear these pieces on KFAC's weekend programming (Memories of the Caucusus?) with Carl Princi. Great programming.
How did he became the first Britain millionaire composer? By selling sheet music and records?

From performing rights, particularly in music for the silent films.
