Malcolm Arnold

      

Works    
 

'… a great and sorely neglected symphonist. Number seven is a huge, apocalyptic work, with passages of sustained savagery in its first movement and musical grotesquery in its finale, that suggest a spiritual crisis barely overcome. For my money it's a blazing masterpiece and it suggests a striking parallel. Here, and elsewhere, we hear the utterly authentic voice of the English Shostakovich.'

Piers-Burton Page

'… the finest ballet composer since Tchaikovsky.'

Dame Ninette de Valois




Biography

Born in 1921, Sir Malcolm Arnold was one of the most fluent and versatile composers of his, or any other, generation. His prolific output comprises symphonies, concerti, chamber music, stage works, divertimenti, choral music, song cycles and music for wind and brass band, whilst his catalogue of over a hundred scores for film and television includes the Oscar-winning Bridge on the River Kwai.

Malcolm Arnold was awarded the CBE in 1970 and was Knighted in 1993. In 1986 he received the Ivor Novello Award for outstanding services to British music and in 2001 was awarded a Fellowship of the British Academy for Composers and Songwriters on the occasion of his 80th birthday.
