Symphony No. 1 in B flat minor
Composer: William Walton
Performer: 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Conductor: Martyn Brabbins
Date of broadcast: 18 February 2018
Dramatic and unique amongst English symphonies composed in the 20th Century, Walton鈥檚 first symphony stands alone, much like the composer did in British musical life for much of the 20th Century. The orchestra pulsates with a natural rhythm throughout. The influence of Sibelius is never far away, but like everything Walton did, he channels that inspiration to create a symphony of real originality.
