Kirill Karabits conducts Walton's Symphonies Nos 1 & 2
Walton’s First Symphony is no longer considered the kind of severe technical challenge to an orchestra that it used to be. Even so, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s delivery of the score is a tribute to the standard that can be taken for granted from today’s players: one notoriously tricky passage after another (eg for violas at 2:18 in the first movement) is brought off with top-flight panache and accuracy.
