Description
Authoritative first recordings of important works composed and conducted by Sir Malcom Arnold (1921-2006), one of Englands very greatest composers. This new Reference Mastercuts LP release is a single 180 gram disc, half-speed mastered at 33 1/3 rpm by Paul Stubblebine, pressed on virgin vinyl at Quality Record Pressings, and contained in a beautiful gatefold jacket with original artwork. A perennial hi-fi favorite recorded by Keith O. Johnson!
"Twenty-five years after releasing the Grammy-nominated Arnold Overtures, Reference Recordings has reissued it as a 180-gram, half-speed-mastered LP, and what an LP it is. Paul Stubblebine, who mastered the original CD, returns to do the remastering for this fine reissue pressed at Quality Recoord Pressings… This re-release of Arnold Overtures is a gem and worth rebuying even if you own the music in another format. I've thoroughly enjoyed this recording and Sir Malcolm's enthusiastic interpretation of his own compositions." – Mark Blackmore, The Audio Beat, Music 5/5, Sound 5/5
