) | Label: Dutton Catalog: CDLX 7318 Format: SACD Peter Donohoe (piano), Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Martin YatesComposed by: Arnold: Symphony No.7, Fantasy on a Theme of John Field, Philharmonic Concerto This release from Dutton features three major works by Malcolm Arnold written in the mid-1970s when the composer was based in Ireland. The Symphony No.7, dissonant and exhilarating by turns, is crowned by a riotous Irish reel. Arnold called the Fantasy on a theme of John Field "a piano concerto in one movement." Peter Donohoe is the soloist in this showpiece based on the Irish composer's radiant seventh Nocturne for piano. Commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Arnold's Philharmonic Concerto is a concerto for orchestra – and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under Martin Yates rise to its colorful demands with typical verve.
