Sir William Walton's Film Music Vol. 2专辑介绍
After the success of the first volume of Walton's film music, producer Christopher Palmer switches focus from Shakespeare to the theme of war. Of course, the justifiably famous "Spitfire Prelude and Fugue" is an obligatory inclusion. Assembled from Walton's music for First of the Few (1942), a biopic about aircraft designer R. J. Mitchell, "Spitfire" was an immediate concert hall success and is presented here in a grand performance. The enterprising Palmer also assembled "A Wartime Sketchbook," a world premiere compendium of selections from The Foreman Went to France (1941) and Next of Kin (1942). Also included are excerpts from the all-star WWII epic Battle of Britain (1969), reminding us of the film producers' unconscionable decision to discard most of Walton's score (which is fortunately now available on Rykodisc, alongside Ron Goodwin's replacement score). Two other important premieres are suites from Paul Czinner's Escape Me Never (1935), a domestic drama known mainly for being Walton's first film score, and Laurence Olivier's The Three Sisters (1970), the composer's final movie effort. The greatest plaudits are reserved, however, for the disc's war music, which proves that Walton was Elgar's equal in his ability to produce patriotic melodies. Solid, idiomatic performances, and inspired leadership from Marriner guarantee our complete involvement at all times. --Kevin Mulhall
