[Music in Camera] presents the programme that won the award for Best Performance Special, at this year's Banff Festival in Canada.

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'.
