William Walton (1902-1983)
Edited by Stuart Hutchinson Sir William Walton was born in Oldham, Lancashire in 1902, the son of a choirmaster and a singing-teacher. He became a chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, and then an undergraduate at the University. His first composition to attract attention was a piano quartet written at the age of sixteen. At Oxford he made the acquaintance of the Sitwells who gave him friendship, moral and financial support and in 1922 he collaborated with Edith in devising the entertainment Façade. Less than ten years later, Osbert prepared the text of another masterwork, Belshazzar's Feast. From 1922
to 1927 Walton began to spend an increasing amount of time abroad, notably in Switzerland and Italy. The war years were devoted mainly to writing film and ballet scores and he became established as amongst the greatest composers for the screen.More information at the William Walton website

"Troilus deserves an honourable place in the British opera repertory. In addition to some gorgeous melodies, it has an orchestral score which is bewitchingly beautiful." - Michael Kennedy, The Sunday Telegraph "The haunting love music from Troilus and Cressida lingers in the memory for ages afterwards. A solo oboe calls out over shimmering strings - the voice of sensuality raised over the barest whisper of a breeze, transporting the listener to a sultry night in the Mediterranean." - Richard Fairmanm, The Financial Times
