Artist: ARNOLD, MALCOLM

Title: Bright Jewels Music of 1940s & 1950s (2CD)

Label: Maestro Sound & Vision

Cat No MSV0214CD

Here is a fascinating – and often surprising – collection of mostly early works by the late Sir Malcolm Arnold, from a song written by the 17-year-old composer in 1938, setting words by his adored elder sister Ruth, to another song written in 1963 as a treat for his daughter. In between, a cantata, piano duets and chamber music for winds, alongside more songs and a twinkling piano duet arrangement of one of his most popular works (the second set of English Dances). Many pieces appear on disc for the first time, and the result is a true box of delights, full of Arnold’s typical wit and melodic gift.
