Contributors include his widow Lady Walton, Walton biographer Michael Kennedy and broadcaster Humphrey Burton.

Dennis Marks begins by tracing Walton's early life from his birthplace in Oldham to the pubs and elegant drawing rooms of Chelsea.

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

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.
