‘Andrew Penny, who has been entrusted with the complete recording of the Arnold symphonies on the Naxos label, conducts the two works quite briskly, with rather fast tempi, rich in contrast and, despite the immense orchestral apparatus, very transparent. This conducting emphasizes the intensity of the music-making and thus also the expressivity. The technical skills of the very good National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland are fully appreciated.’
