Wow two masterpies on one cd
R. Rockwell | Brooklyn, NY USA | 11/03/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I must thank the Third Ear guide or I would have heard about this cd. All of these pieces are from the mature part of his life and display the tecnical mastery and humor found in his symphonies. The concerto fpr 28 players is one masterpiece which is compsed seially and has moments maked by sharp dissonance combined with breaks for more melodious sound and syncopations typical of Stravinsky.

The Variations for Orchestra are based on a coronation march by one of Arnold's students Ruth Gipps. I consider yhis another masterpiece of Arnold even tough it is only 11 minutes. The variations are enchatingly beautiful and well performed. by hickox. As soon as i finished playing this I was so awestruck that I immediately replayed it. This cd belong in the collection of all classical music lovers. please excuse typos i have a neurolicic disese."
