Notes & Reviews:
This CD features premieres of Walton conducting his own music on record for the first time. Walton's lyrical Cello Concerto features the legendary French cellist, Pierre Fournier, recorded in 1965. Also here are two major choral works, the intimate The Twelve, and the much grander Coronation Te Deum. These two recordings were broadcast from Westminster Abbey on the 2nd of January, 1966.
