Message from Sir Malcolm Arnold, quoted from the booklet of the CD:

"My pieces chosen by Douglas Bostock for this recording all suit the sound of the wind band, and, as a professional trumpet player in my younger days, I approve of these fine transcriptions, particularly when they are played by one of the world's finest wind ensembles."

"We had a wonderful time recording [this], and I hope it will both bring pleasure to . . . the listener, and inspire [other] conductors to programme the works."
