Description
'These Walton songs are really terrific,' wrote the great accompanist Gerald Moore; 'everything WW does is impressive - why the devil doesn't he write more songs?' From early experiments, via Edith Sitwell settings that build on the success of Facade, to music for the silver screen and two well-loved cycles heard here in their original intimate versions with piano and guitar, the complete collection fits on a single album. But what an album! Four decades after Walton's death, three imaginative young artists bring fresh voices to the feast, revelling with infectious enjoyment in the composer's endlessly beguiling inventiveness and sparkling wit.
