Synopsis

Album Description
This programme conveniently brings together Walton's two symphonies and three concertos onto 2 well-filled discs (around 155 minutes). This is music of wide contrasts - from the spiky wit, rhythmic vitality and brilliance that characterises the First Symphony and the Violin Concerto, to the Mediterranean warmth and romanticism that permeates the Cello Concerto. These works cover a major part of Walton's creative life with the earliest piece being the Viola Concerto of 1929 (revised in 1961 - as recorded here) through to the Second Symphony - first heard in Edinburgh in September 1960.
