About

• David Nixon’s The Three Musketeers, with music by Malcolm Arnold, was first performed by National Ballet Theatre (NBT) at the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford on 23 September 2006, the very day the composer died. It was an understandably poignant occasion, and few who were there will ever forget the inspired playing of the NBT Orchestra under John Pryce-Jones. No tribute could have been finer.

• The music offers a very representative Arnold mix: film scores bursting with Hollywood opulence; symphonies and other concert works, written to exhibit the full resources of large orchestras like the Hallé; and by contrast, more modest pieces: for wind band, string orchestra and even small chamber groups. Each work, of course, was re-orchestrated to suit the needs of NBT, John Longstaff producing, as if by magic, a brilliantly cohesive score both in its overall sound and its faithfulness to Arnold’s unique orchestral colours.
