    Ed Gardner's Walton 1

    This release completely passed me by, to my surprise as after the revelation of his recent Mendelssohn recording, I'm becoming a bit of a fan of EG. I read the glowing review in the BBC MM (which unusually I bought due to the interesting Gurney/Bridge cover disc) and felt like acquiring it instantly... Recording of the Month, http://www.classical-music.com/monthly-choice/walton

    But then the Guardian damns with faint praise http://www.theguardian.com/music/201...r-bbcso-little

    Prestoclassical is positive http://www.prestoclassical.co.uk/new...ate=2014-04-21, MusicWeb calls it "a recording worthy to stand with the very best"

    Anyone heard it?

    This piece has been crying out for the ideal performance - none has ever quite done it as the piece goes in my head

    I know, I know, I should just buy it and make my own mind up. And I probably shall.

    Anyone snapped it up?

    I guess it will find its way on to CD Review at some point...
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Working...
