Arnold: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
This is the strongest entry so far in Naxos's Malcolm Arnold cycle. The orchestra, for one, is securely on top of and inside these deceptively difficult scores, yielding little to their Bournesmith (Conifer) and London (Chandos) counterparts, albeit less well recorded. Andrew Penny elicits well-oiled, judiciously balanced section work that heightens Arnold's unabashed melodic appeal and orchestral wizardry. Listeners coming to this composer for the first time await a delicious bargain. --Jed Distler

    5 out of 5 stars Another excellent pair of performances.......1999-10-08

    As with their readings of the first two symphonies, Hickox and the LSO are excellent here. Hickox's timing of the fourth is much, much tauter than the composer's own (which occupied a CD on its own), but never feels rushed. The sound quality is very good, although not in the demo-room bracket like that of the first two symphonies.
