Walton : Violin Concerto, Portsmouth Point, Suite From Troilus & Cressida

Description

La Sinfonia Of London and John Wilson deliver the best of William Walton!
La Sinfonia of London and John Wilson begin a new series of recordings of works by Sir William Walton with this album where Charlie Lovell-Jones is soloist in the violin concerto. Commissioned by Jascha Heifetz, the concerto was in 1939, in America, and received an enthusiastic reception. The work is extremely lyrical and passionate, with a wild and virtuosic tarantella as the second movement. La Sinfonia Of London, with John Wilson conducting, once again gives its best on these works by William Walton that absolutely must be rediscovered.
