Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
There is firm enjoyment from start to finish on The Film Music of Malcolm Arnold. With the exception of just two items, arrangement and reconstruction duties are shared between the indefatigable Philip Lane and much-missed Christopher Palmer. Rest assured, the results are as idiomatic as can be imagined and there are plenty of gems awaiting discovery; the exuberant, ear-ticklingly colourful suite from Trapeze (1956), an unashamedly rhetorical Ballade for piano and orchestra from the 1952 Hammer production, Stolen Face (with Phillip Dyson a stylish soloist) and the swaggering overture to John Huston's The Roots of Heaven that producer Darryl F Zanuck specially commissioned for that film's glitzy 1958 New York premiere. Elsewhere, the outrageous comedy suite from The Belles of St Trinian's (1954) serves up plenty of laughs, while the engaging suite from David Copperfield (1969) is as good a place as any to sample the powerful expressive scope of Arnold's writing for the big screen. As on previous offerings on the Chandos Movies label, the BBC Philharmonic responds with irrepressible spirit and dazzling polish under Rumon Gamba's dedicated lead. Striking artwork and spectacularly realistic sound cap a terrific release. --Andrew Achenbach
