Family Affairs
With Peggy Reynolds. In 1922, the first private performance of Walton's Facade, with words by Edith Sitwell , took place in Chelsea at the home of her brothers Osbert and Sacheverell.
Edith was famous both for her poetry and for her striking looks - she was described as having the ethereality of a ghost. Osbert was also a poet, and Sacheverell was probably the most musical of them all, a close friend of the harpsichordist Violet Gordon Woodhouse.
