About
David Nixon’s The Three Musketeers, with music by Malcolm Arnold, was first performed by National Ballet Theatre (NBT) at the Alhambra Theatre, Bradford on 23 September 2006, the very day the composer died. It was an understandably poignant occasion, and few who were there will ever forget the inspired playing of the NBT Orchestra under John Pryce-Jones. No tribute could have been finer.

The ballet gives an exciting conspectus on the work of one of the 20th century's most approachable composers. Having this dazzling sequence on disc is a joy, particularly in this lively performance conducted by John Pryce-Jones. A valuable addition to the Arnold repertory.
