If nothing else, Richard Hickox and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales prove the composer wrong. From the short orchestral prelude to the play, with its fanfares and trilling woods, this Is Walton on best public behaviour – and was any twentieth –century English composer as skilled at writing public music as Walton?… Yet in the three songs that are threaded through the play Walton can strike the most intimate note too.
International Record Review
This release is very welcome for it brings us two hitherto unknown works of Walton in spectacular sound and outstanding performances.
American Record Guide
The striking choral finale , like the shanties, has a powerful contribution by Tom Randle. Caroline Carragher as the Queen, Jean Rigby as Columbus’s lover, and the baritone Roderick Williams all sing well, as do the BBC National Chorus of Wales. Richard Hickox conducts warmly and the hybrid SACD sound is vivid and clear.
