About

Heritage is pleased to announce its first collaboration with the Chamber Ensemble of London, a disc which commemorates the tenth anniversary of Malcom Arnold’s death and features no fewer than nine world premieres by Malcolm Arnold and leading figures of the British ‘light music’ scene.

"‘That would be a good idea!’ This CD assembles many of the ‘good ideas’ – mine and other people’s – that had gone to the back of my mind. What brought them to the front? The Malcolm Arnold Society wanted to mark the 10th anniversary of the composer’s death with music not previously recorded. The Arnold items were all solos with strings. That became the unifying factor for the whole CD. I remembered Chris Shrimpton putting the case for the classical harmonica; soloists I wished to promote; the music of an old friend; the viola, another Cinderella instrument… We had soon recorded more than enough material for one CD. There may be another." - Peter Fisher, February 2016
