so do I Darren, and it compliments the Kennedy version rather well. the tempos are far more sprightly here, knocking off a full 5 minutes from the length of the concerto... and as usual, the Stad. Dresden are on top form..

Walton - Symphony No.1 (Andrew Litton, Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Decca)

I also own and enjoy that box set... his Viola Concerto is possibly my favourite piece...

Dresden are on top form..

...and one of my favoured orchestras :-)

Recommended by Darren....





These are both terrific performances and I thought that No. 7 was infused with a little more hope than usual.

I am glad you liked the disc. Naxos come up trumps once again!

^^ if I'm banned for posting the Gardiner cover Sean...
