Par ARNOLD MALCOLM. Hugo Cole says '. . .a serious and substantial work. . .The slow movement, based on a dramatic unison, reminds us that Berlioz is one of Arnold's favourite composers. With the art that conceals art, Arnold makes us forget the limitations of the medium, and exploits these players' particular skills in ways that make it seem as though the skills must have been acquired to do justice to the piece'.
