Malcolm Arnold 1921-2006
Thought by many to be Britain's best 20th century composer.
Not by me, unfortunately. I detested his film music and wasn't much
more enamoured of his "classical" stuff. Sorry to speak ill of the
dead, but I didn't like the man's music at all.
In any case Britain's best 20th century composer was of course Vaughan
Williams. Followed possibly by Walton. And then another couple of
dozen before you get to Arnold.
