Editorial Reviews

Malcom Arnold's popular reputation is based on his success as a film music composer, particularly for The Bridge on the River Kwai. But he also wrote nine symphonies and a host of colorful and effective orchestra pieces, these concertos among them. The Second Clarinet Concerto has an absolutely hilarious jazz finale that makes it a great piece to try out on your friends. Arnold was an exceptionally gifted orchestrator, and his writing for solo instruments, particularly winds and brass, is always extremely effective. All the soloists here seem to be having a great time with this light-hearted and gratifying music. You'll be amused. --David Hurwitz
