on BBC Radio 3

From the Octagon, Buxton, the last of this week's summer festival recitals. The ensemble Psappha and conductor
John Carewe are joined by narrators Linda Ormiston and Thomas Allen - the artist-in-residence at this year's festival - for a performance of one of the settings of Edith Sitwell 's verse which launched William
Walton's career in controversial fashion in 1920s London. And as a prelude, two members of Psappha play the equally entertaining Jet
Whistles by Villa-Lobos. Introduced by Rodney Slatford.
