Description
Malcolm Arnold: A Life Revealed in Full For nearly two decades, myths about Malcolm Arnold's life have dominated the public imagination. Anthony Meredith's first biography attempted to set the record straight, but many of these myths persisted. In 2022, a new opportunity arose when Katherine, Malcolm Arnold's daughter, encouraged her father's biographer to write a fresh account of his final thirty years. This book offers a long-awaited and comprehensive look at Arnold's life, shedding light on previously unexplored aspects of his story. By examining the composer's last thirty years in the context of his earlier life, as well as the period following his death, new insights into his music and the care of those with mental illness are revealed. The result is an engrossing saga that offers a nuanced and compassionate portrayal of Arnold's life, one that challenges prevailing myths and provides a more complete understanding of this complex figure.
