Ken TalbotHello all you #classicalmusic fans out there
I'd be keen to start a thread focussing on #britishcomposers
e.g. #vaughanwilliams #holst #malcolmarnold #finzi #howells #tippett #britten #georgebutterworth #arthurbliss
Anyone interested?
Charles Sheard@kentalbot Absolutely interested! I am always at a loss to explain their lack of penetration into the consciousness here in the US. Was listening to #MalcolmArnold just this morning, and always rotating through most of the others you named (plus #ArnoldBax #GranvilleBantock and more). Thankful to #Chandos #Naxos #Hyperion and #Argo for providing so many recordings to enjoy.
@CSheard Hi Charles I am a committee member of the #malcolmarnold society. Every October we host a #malcolmarnold festival both live and online. If you have the chance you can access this year's for free at this link https://malcolm-arnold-festival.livevideostream.co.uk/ 3.5 hours of his music and other info about his life. Also please have a look at the website https://www.malcolmarnoldsociety.co.uk/ In addition I do have part of the archive from Gerald #finzi - including letters from many of the composers named above @classicalmusic
