Proms Composer of the Week: Walton

on BBC Radio 3

With Humphrey Burton.
3: Walton and the English Choral Tradition
If Walton were to be remembered for one work only, it would probably be for his powerful dramatic oratorio
Belshazzar's Feast. But choral music occupied Walton throughout his creative life, and his debt to the English choral tradition is central to his work.
Belshazzar's Feast (excerpts) Bryn Terfel (baritone),
BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, conductor Andrew Davis
Litany: Drop, Drop Slow Tears Trinity College Choir, conductor Richard Marlow
Coronation Te Deum Choirs of Salisbury, Winchester and Chichester Cathedrals, London Philharmonic, conductor Georg Solti
