This is a beautiful piece of music. It sounds like Malcom Arnold was influenced by the jazz modernist composers such as Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, and Thelonious Monk. Julian Bream surely is performing it with a jazz influence. Reminds me of “the third stream” musicians/bands like the Modern Jazz Quartet would perform. Brilliant stuff.

Amazing composition. In some moments of this piece I coud feel a positive and very welcomed influence of Joan Manén and Joaquín Rodrigo. Bream performed it so great! Thanks for sharing❤

Posh, pretentious and 'inaccessible' for the peasantry..
Most enjoyable for 'our sort of people' perhaps.
No prejudice against the proletariat of course 🎉
Education is key to unlocking..etc etc

Painful modernist anti-art music. Awful. Like listening to garbage cans been taken out. Old rattling lorries have more appeal & certainly more charm. Malcom ought to kept to cobbling. Fancy applauding that rubbish.

[@burraldo]

Based on your comments, I realized you don't understand anything about modern music. Open your mind, there's life beyond Mozart's music!

[@tertia4808]

It's just noise.

Exactly, I don't know how they can call that music.😖
