Facade

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

A new production, devised and presented by Pamela Hunter , with the Nash Ensemble conducted by Jim Parker
This concoction of words by EDITH SITWELL and music by WILLIAM WALTON caused a small riot at its first performance in 1923, but has since become a concert favourite. In her prologue to the piece, Pamela Hunter uses Edith Sitwell 's own words as a guide through the world of private memories and associations which were her inspiration.
And television adds a further dimension, using archive film and electronic wizardry to create 'Facade - the Video'.
Producer TONY STAVEACRE Director KEITH CHEETHAM
