Proms Composer of the Week: Walton

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Humphrey Burton.
2: Walton the Symphonist
Walton wrote only two symphonies, separated by 25 years. The Symphony No I of 1935 has remained the most enduringly popular, but Humphrey Burton makes a case for the more neglected Symphony No 2, a work of cogent musical thought and brilliant orchestral devices.
Symphony No 1 (excerpt)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Leonard Slatkin
Symphony No 2
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, conductor Martyn Brabbins Sonata for Strings (Finale)
London Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Jan Latham Koenig
