True Dana, I tend to lose track of these Sybil characters this board has - I might have inadvertently thrown D2 in there, but you see what I'm saying - it's always the same M.O., like Lux and his "people". You can see the patterns, if you spend far too much time looking at this board (........).
On a happier note, I just started to 'discover' Malcolm Arnold, his symphonies at least - if his film scores approach the brilliance of that work, I'm in.

Ah, yes, Mr. Lux... Makes me nostalgic for the bad old days here...not!! Lux and Daniel2 were peas in a pod, if not in fact the same person. I think Daniel2 was better educated than Lux, if the writing styles are any indication.
As re Malcolm Arnold, there was a lot of repetition from score to score ("Arnoldisms") -- Roots of Heaven and Bridge on the River Kwai share a lot of the same devices, for example. But he had his moments: Roots of Heaven and Inn of the Sixth Happiness stand out for me, also the score he wrote for a TV production of David Copperfield. Try the Marco Polo (or Naxos) disc with Roots of Heaven and David Copperfield as a great start -- Morgan and Stromberg did a dandy job with that one.

Yes, Arnold seemed to use the same themes & that same brass figure for all of his war scores. Some of Sixth Happiness & Telemark could easily be from the Dunkirk score.
Be careful ... I've been pursued for making that same claim here ....
You could also add 'A Hill in Korea', and the main adventure theme from Kwai.

'could also be 'Attack on the Iron Coast' by Schurmann.
Probably not.
Is it not likely that the two releases must contextually be linked if it's one CD? Either by composer, or studio, or subject matter, or star or the like? If it's Telemark, maybe it's another Arnold?
