This afternoon's #MalcolmArnoldOdyssey listening: all three commercial recordings of Symphony No. 8, one of his most striking and disturbing scores and his last major work before a seven-year creative silence during which he was hospitalised and treated for depression.
#MalcolmArnoldOdyssey #NowListening to two of the four commercial recordings of Arnold's powerful Symphony No. 3: Vernon Handley & @liverpoolphil (the orchestra that commissioned and premiered it) followed by the composer with @LPOrchestra (in which he once played trumpet).
... and, particularly in spooky October, how can I not share my favourite #MalcolmArnold work "Tam o' Shanter" (after Burns). #art by Alexander Goudie, from an impressive cycle of paintings inspired by the poem, now held by the South Ayrshire Council
