� A legend in British concert halls, Sir Malcolm Arnold was also in demand as a composer of film music in Hollywood and beyond. � Including an overture for the New York premiere, the score for The Roots of Heaven adds drama and atmosphere to the story of one man's crusade to save African elephants from extinction. � David Copperfield was Arnold's last film score and one of his most expressive and memorable, summed up as 'truly amazing' by director Delbert Mann. � Classics Today.com has described this recording as 'a treat for Arnold fans and movie buffs alike. ' � Recorded at the Mosfilm Studio, Moscow, 4-7 April 2000 by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra conducted by William Stromberg. � The score restorations were realized by John W. Morgan, who, with Mr. Stromberg amongst others has, since the early 90s, worked in reconstructing and re-recording the great symphonic film scores composed during Hollywood's Golden Age of the mid 30s to the late 50s.
