Search - Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra, Kirill Karabits, Walton :: Walton: Symphonies Nos.1 & 2

Walton's First Symphony burst onto the scene in 1935 and was quickly recognized as a masterpiece. A remarkable achievement for a composer of 33 years, his second symphony was mature and refined, showcasing a composer at the top of his game. It was unjustly overshadowed by its older sibling and appeared dated when compared to the avant garde styles popular in the late 50's and early 60's. Today, it is recognized as a masterpiece to rank alongside the first. These high voltage performances from Kirill Karabits and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra confirm the enduring legacy of both works.
