Info for Arnold: Symphony No. 6

Sir Malcolm Arnold (1921–2006) was one of the most fascinating characters to have emerged from the creative core of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, leaving his post as the ensemble's Principal Trumpet in 1953 as his career as a composer began its ascendency. Arnold's remarkable and varied output is seasoned with scores dedicated to the Orchestra and its players; this collection conducted by the composer's champion Vernon Handley offers a glance at Arnold the cinematic artist, Arnold the jocular humorist and Arnold the profound symphonist.

"…The Inn of the Sixth Happiness Suite is a reminder that Arnold could produce a sweeping film theme to rival Hollywood… The mood changes completely after the short Flourish, with the grim, twilight world of the Sixth Symphony. …there's a unique tension in this live LPO performance." (BBC Music Magazine)

"These live performances are very committed, and Handley's skill in sustaining atmosphere and holding elusive structures together is heard at its finest." (Gramophone Magazine)
