Info zu Malcolm Arnold: Symphony No. 9

„This superb first Naxos recording confirms the Ninth Symphony as a fitting culmination to Arnold’s symphonic series. The baldness of the arguments, with two-part writing the general rule, consistently speaks in a true Arnoldian accent, culminating in the long slow finale, almost as long as the other three movements together, registering a mood of tragedy and disillusion. As to Penny’s performance, this is not just concentrated and consistently committed but warmly resonant, with the Dublin strings sounding glorious and the woodwind and brass consistently brilliant.“ (Penguin Guide)

I was impressed enough by the first of Andrew Penny's Arnold discs for Naxos, coupling Nos.1 and 2, but this is far finer, for he draws not just a concentrated, consistently committed performance from the Irish players, but a warmly resonant one, with the strings sounding glorious and the woodwind and brass consistnetly brilliant. The recording is rich and full...

'All credit to Naxos in their projected Arnold cycle for achieving this important first... he [Andrew Penny] draws not just a concentrated, consistently committed performance from the Irish players, but a warmly resonant one... I look forward to more in the series' (Gramophone)
