Posted by John France on September 28, 2006, 7:20 am, in reply to "Sir Malcoln Arnold RIP" Curiously, the BBC Website sported a number of 'reader' comments - including one gentleman who asked quite simply 'Who?' Surely this is a sad reflection on the presentation of British Musical history in our nation. Yet perhaps the BBC will now lead the way with a genuine renaissance of listening and education to and about British Music that they seemed to have begun on the day after Sir Malcolm's death. Lastly, I am eternally thankful that I was able to personally thank Sir Malcolm for his wonderful Fifth Symphony...to me one of the finest works in the repertoire.

I was amazed [postively] at the amount air time given to the Sir Malcolm's death on the BBC. At one stage it was the top story! Perhaps there is a little bit of guilt here after the 'tepid' reception of his works during the Glock years!
