Our Take

The London Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Louis Fremaux, teams up with soloist Salvatore Accardo and conductor Richard Hickox for a delightful romp through William Walton's Sym 1 and Violin Concerto. Accardo's virtuosic playing shines through the lush orchestration, bringing a sense of urgency and passion to Walton's compositions.

Hickox's interpretation is bold and dynamic, breathing new life into these classic British pieces. The orchestra's precision and power are on full display, creating a rich tapestry of sound that will transport you to another realm.

From the opening notes of the symphony to the explosive finale of the concerto, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions. The way the strings soar and the brass ring out is nothing short of magical.

Some may argue that Walton's music is a bit old-fashioned, but in the hands of these talented musicians, it feels fresh and invigorating. The energy and enthusiasm they bring to each note is infectious, making it impossible not to tap your foot along.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for any classical music lover. It's a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, expertly crafted and beautifully executed. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you. You won't be disappointed.
