Crown Imperial

Available for over a year

Written for the coronation of George VI, Crown Imperial displays all the pomp and ceremony expected. There is a cinematic quality to Walton’s music which would later be utilized by Laurence Olivier amongst others. Think brass, cymbals, stirring tunes and you’ll have it. Composer: William Walton Performer: BBC Concert Orchestra Conductor: Barry Wordsworth Recording date: 31 July 2013 Date of broadcast: 31 July 2013
