Learning on ScreenTowards the Unknown Region: Malcolm Arnold - A Story of Survival
- Synopsis
- A two-part film on the life and work of Malcolm Arnold, made by Tony Palmer for the South Bank Show. Arnold is last survivor of a generation of great British composers who dominated the musical landscape in the last half of the twentieth century. In spite of enduring a catalogue of personal tragedies he managed to write in excess of 500 works, including over 120 film scores and nine monumental symphonies. Includes extracts from some of his many movies and performances and an interview with the 83 year-old himself. Old friends and family members also talk candidly about Arnold’s life successes and failures.
