Description: SOMM marks the 100th anniversary of Sir Malcolm Arnold’s birth with seven first recordings of arrangements for violin and piano. But there is only one other recording listed of the violin sonatas, so this may be a more valuable release for those works. Peter Fisher (violin), Margaret Fingerhut (piano).
