For me this is the best Acker Bilk CD available. It contains 7 UK Top 20 singles plus 4 USA Top hits (including Stranger on the Shore, USA No1, UK No.2) A must for all his fans. Read more/5(10).

This is a straight copy of the EMI album that Acker Bilk recorded with The Leon Young String Chorale. The sound quality is very good and this is the album that made Acker so very popular as a performer because the title song was the theme of a BBC television serial of the time/5(32).

Relax with the sound of Alka Bilk playing the Clarinet while looking at Beach Photos.

Acker Bilk is best remembered for his crossover pop hit "Stranger on the Shore," a middle-of-the-road smoothie that featured his honeyed clarinet well to the fore. This song best-of reprises that along with other similar fare. Two selections find him working with pianist Bent Fabric, first on a duet version of "Stranger," then on Fabric's big elevator music hit "Alley Cat."6/

Some of the hits of Acker Bilk. Lovely to listen to.

"Stranger on the Shore" is a piece for clarinet written by Acker Bilk for his young daughter and originally named "Jenny" after her. It was subsequently used.
