Malcolm Arnold - an Honest Composer

on BBC Radio 2

Brian Kay celebrates the life and career of British composer Malcolm Arnold , who was 80 in October. Friends and colleagues recall his tempestuous and often ill-starred life, punctuated by Arnold's own words and music. Kay also asks why the Oscar-winning composer of more than 100 film scores, nine symphonies and numerous solo works has received so little respect from the musical establishment.
