Proms Chamber Music 8: Walton – Façade
13:00 Mon 8 Sep 2014 Cadogan Hall
This year’s focus on William Walton wouldn’t be complete without his witty, genre-bending ‘entertainment’ Façade. Shostakovich is also seen here at his most whimsical. Arranged from the composer’s earlier film scores, the Four Waltzes range from the good-humoured ‘Spring Waltz’, to the faux naïf ‘Waltz-Scherzo’ and the charmingly kitsch ‘Barrel Organ Waltz’.
