Description

Andrew Penny's complete recording of Malcolm Arnold's Symphonies and Dances, made between 1996 and 2001 in the composer's presence, has long been considered the reference. Arnold's music is clear in texture, rich in delightful melodies, yet often shows signs of a complex musical personality and dramatic tensions that lie just beneath the surface. His Dances are carefree, lively, and joyful, but the nine Symphonies explore the darker side of the composer and reflect his life, in which he repeatedly struggled with physical and mental illnesses.
