Sir William Walton

 
Jill Edwards

I still remember a concert from the early 1950’s. The work I especially remember is a performance of William Walton’s façade. From behind a screen appeared a woman dressed in incredible clothes – long, flowing robes with many items of jewellery. Her voice was like a chant – very unusual. She was the narrator, and she was Dame Edith Sitwell.
