5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to Malcolm Arnold., 1 Jan 2004
By Steve (Huddersfield, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This two-disc set consists of items from the RCA/Conifer back-catalogue. Almost all the recordings are fairly recent and in excellent sound. The Guitar Concerto is from 1959, but still sounds excellent.The performance by Julian Bream is wonderful; this is tuneful music, like all the items here. How under-rated Arnold has been, daring to write catchy tunes! There is humour everywhere, from the Grand Grand Overture (this will be amazing if you have never heard it before; surely the longest ending of any Overture) to his very personal 'Carnival of Animals'. I particularly like 'Sheep' with its mad off-beat drum cracks. 'Bats' will really try your hearing...

The English, Cornish and Scottish dances are played here in their brass band versions. Do not be alarmed, the Grimethorpe Colliery Band is superb- as they also are in the items Arnold specifically wrote for brass band. (If I may be allowed a diversion here; in my professional capacity I once met an ex-miner from a village not too far from Grimethorpe. He told me he played the violin. I remarked this must be unusual for a miner-hard manual work does not make for ideal finger control. What did his colleagues think; 'Oh, they all think I'm a poof!' he replied). But back to the discs. The remaining items are all very enjoyable, and a particular gem is 'Larch Trees', an early Arnold item I'd never heard before, and less extrovert than much later Arnold.

Altogether a great value collection, in great sound.(And if you want the English,Cornish and Scottish Dances in full symphony versions there's an excellent Naxos disc for a fiver).

4.0 out of 5 stars A very accessible collection of excellent calssical music, 29 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Malcom Arnold is most well known for his film music, including The Bridge Over the River Kwai. This CD is a collection of his other works, including the excellent Concerto for Two Pianos. The Little Suites are a pleasure to listen to, and The Cranival Animals is something you should recognise... Buy This CD as a great intoduction to the pleasures of classical music.
