William Walton's Façade, An Entertainment,
with Poems by Edith Sitwell.
"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."
