Product description

Immerse yourself in the rich, dramatic sounds of William Walton's choral masterpieces with this captivating album, released in 1989 under the Chandos label. Spanning a little over an hour, this collection features three of Walton's most renowned works: "Belshazzar's Feast," "Coronation Te Deum," and "Gloria." The album opens with the powerful and vivid "Belshazzar's Feast," a cantata that brings to life the biblical story of King Belshazzar's downfall, complete with vivid orchestration and stirring choral passages. Following this is the regal and triumphant "Coronation Te Deum," a piece originally composed for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, and the luminous "Gloria," a celebration of faith and joy. Conducted by Gwynne Howell and featuring the Philharmonia under the direction of Sir David Willcocks, this recording is a testament to Walton's genius and the enduring power of his music. Whether you're a longtime fan of classical choral works or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a compelling exploration of some of the most significant pieces in the repertoire.
