Walton Day

To celebrate the centenary of the composer's birth, Dennis Marks presents a day of programmes exploring the life and music of William Walton, including "postcards" recorded at his home on the island of Ischia and programmes devoted to Walton and his music. Contributors include his widow Lady Walton, Walton biographer Michael Kennedy and broadcaster Humphrey Burton. Friends and former colleagues, including Hans Werner Henze, Julian Bream and Andre Previn, provide their reminiscences. Dennis Marks begins by tracing Walton's early life from his birthplace in Oldham to the pubs and elegant drawing rooms of Chelsea.

11.05 Walton: Facade
A performance recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre. Presented by Humphrey Burton. Felicity Palmer and Thomas Allen (reciters), Members of the Britten Sinfonia, conductor Nicholas Cleobury

Walton's Facade was the result of a collaboration between Walton and the poet Edith Sitwell, one of an extraordinary family which included her brothers, Osbert and Sacheverell Sitwell. Dennis Marks explores Sitwellian family life, including interviews and memories from the archive of Edith, Sacheverell and Walton himself.

3.15 Postcard from Ischia - Walton's Music Room
Michael White, accompanied by Lady Walton, explores the composer's study, left just as it was on the day he died.
Although Walton's music brought him fame, he was prey to insecurity and vulnerable to criticism. Humphrey Burton unmasks the man behind the music.

Cressida is deceived by her manipulative father into betraying Troilus and the opera ends with her suicide.

John Williams's Guitar Notes

3/4. Britain. The creation of the British 20th-century guitar repertoire was largely due to
Julian Bream and the way he worked with many composers to create new works for the instrument. John Williams introduces Bream's recordings of works by Walton, Britten and Arnold and discusses his own collaborations with such composers as Stephen Dodgson and Richard Harvey. He also takes a look at Stanley Myers's Cavatina, one of the most widely known of all guitar pieces.
