| Malcolm Arnold: Trumpet Concerto: Orchestra: ScoreFormat : Sheet music 'Contemporary-music-without-tears has always been his aim and this succinct little three-movement work showed him as skilful as ever in unpretentious directness of utterance as it were in the vernacular. For the soloist it is a gift alike in the first movement's almost indispensable fanfare-like challenges in melody sometmes as nostalgic as Poulenc (especially haunting in the seductively scored central Andante) and in the Finale's flashes of virtuosity.'Jona Chissell The Times 31 January 1983 Composer/Artist : Malcolm Arnold Instrumentation : Publisher : |
