    I just discovered a new to me William Walton work with two contrasting styles of works. The first one is a ballet calledTHE QUEST something that sounds very much like it could be material to go along with a silent film. The second work THE WISE VIRGINS is a throwback to the days of Bach. It is a very nice fugue.

    Lets get this thread back on track, what's your favourite work by Walton, either film score or concert work?

    One of my favourites covers both bases, a film score and concert piece...

    SPITFIRE PRELUDE AND FUGUE

    Stirring, brilliant music.

    I think John Williams is the only film composer alive capable of writing anywhere near to this standard.

  8. Not so keen on his work. I do enjoy bits of his Hamlet and Henry V in moderate doses.

    Personally, I am quite keen on his work - Richard III, Hamlet and Henry V are all among the music I listen to quite regularly. His grand marches Crown Imperial and Orb and Spectre are in my opinion among the finest works of their kind, and I also find his larger choral works such as Belshazzar's Feast and Coronation Te Deum highly enjoyable.

    Lovely composer - but then again I am quite partial to English music.
    - What matters is the music -
