 | Description: | Rumon Gamba leads the BBC Philharmonic in this
collection of lesser-known pieces by the British
composer Sir Malcolm Arnold. Born in 1921, he was
inspired by Louis Armstrong to take up the trumpet at
the age of twelve. Following study at the Royal College
of Music, in London, he became Principal Trumpet of
the London Philharmonic, in 1943 â?? a post he held (bar
one season at the BBC Symphony Orchestra) until he
moved to composing full time, in 1948. Arnold was
active in many genres, writing nine symphonies, two
operas, five ballets, and more than 100 film scores,
including The Bridge on the River Kwai for which he won
an Oscar. This album features music from across his
compositional career, from Larch Trees (1943) to the
Philharmonic Concerto (1976) â?? both works written for
the London Philharmonic. His Divertimento was written
for the newly formed National Youth Orchestra, whilst
the BBC commissioned the Commonwealth Christmas
Overture for the twenty-fifth anniversary of King
George VIâ??s first Christmas Broadcast, in 1932.
The Clarinet Concerto No. 1, expertly performed here
by Michael Collins, was written for Frederick (â??Jackâ??)
Thurston who gave the première, in 1949, at the
Edinburgh Festival. The album concludes with Philip
Laneâ??s orchestration of The Padstow Lifeboat, originally
composed for brass band to celebrate the launch of a
new lifeboat in Padstow in 1968. - .. CONCERTO AND ORCHESTRAL WORKSRumon Gamba leads the BBC Philharmonic in this collection of lesser-known pieces by the British composer Sir Malcolm Arnold.
