"This set may one day be equalled but it is unlikely to be bettered, and it deserves classic status."
International Record Review Feb 2001
"The Nash's superb 1984 set of Malcolm Arnold's chamber music makes a welcome return. These three discs present a rounded portrait of a composer whose practicality, gift for a good tune and entertainment value have tended to obscure both his tautness of construction and vein of deeper, darker feeling. The recordings are admirable."

International Record Review Feb 2001
These three excellent recordings of chamber music by Malcolm Arnold are being released to celebrate Arnold's 80th Birthday later this year. Three hours of varied chamber music - all received with great enthusiasm on their initial release - a bargain not to be missed!
