FACADE

 "If I were allowed just one work of Walton's to save from the proverbial flood, it would undoubtedly be Façade, for whatever the perhaps more obvious merits of some of the large-scale works, it is here that his naughty, witty, ironic, and even his romantic characteristics are most unselfconsciously caught."

- Gramophone Reviews -

Façade is a series of poems by Edith Sitwell, recited over an instrumental accompaniment written by William Walton.

Two speakers - Six musicians

One hour of pure entertaining nonsense.

Produced by Geoffrey Secomb (Musical Director) in association with Honour Productions, and featuring a small chamber group of musicians and speaking artists.
