William Walton
Façade / Music from Henry V / Orb and Sceptre
“[Anthony] Collins’ recording of Façade is a Gramophone classic. … [Edith] Sitwell had one of the richest and most characterful speaking voices, and here she recites her early poems to the masterful, witty music of the youthful [William] Walton with glorious relish. Peter Pears is splendid too in the fast poems, rattling off the lines like the grande dame herself, to demonstrate how near-nonsence can be pure poetry.” — Gramophone
