Malcolm Arnold & London Philharmonic Orchestra - Arnold Overtures (2012) [Hi-Res]

'The recording quality on this album is of stunning immediacy serving the music rather than the reverse. The project is a happy stroke of genius from Reference, the late Christopher Palmer (how we feel his absence!) and, of course, from the composer. Musical values clearly swept the board in all project decisions... Warmly recommended for any collection of Arnold and any collector of British music. This is not a shelf item but one which cries out to be played.' (Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International)

A hi-fi favorite! 'A stunning release, by any standard, and definitely Want List material.' (Fanfare)

'Arnold has long been one of my favorite British composers, and he was always known for being an excellent conductor of his own music. So in this album we have the best combination imaginable. He’s a master of orchestration; started out as a trumpet player in the symphony. He likes extremes of dynamics—sure to please audiophiles. You never really know what’s coming up next...' (John Sunier, Audiophile Audition)
