Kyung Wha Chung’s now legendary recording of the Violin Concerto was made in 1972 in the presence of the composer and immediately drew the most enthusiastic reviews: “… she gets to the heart of this music, demonstrates its toughness as well as its soul-searching lyrical warmth … Chung’s incisiveness compasses the fearsome virtuoso writing of the Scherzo not just with assurance but with wit and obvious enjoyment in display ... here in sum is a great, deeply involving performance.” Gramophone May 1973

London Symphony Orchestra, Sir Colin Davis

High density DSD recording, live at the Barbican Centre, September & December 2005

"brilliant … Walton's Symphony was powerhouse stuff, thrillingly played and wonderfully shaped. It's violent convulsive music that completely belies the commonly held view of Walton as a primarily flippant composer. A great performance of a great work." The Guardian

The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, William Walton

"William Walton's 1964 tour of New Zealand brings keen enjoyment. Walton's collaboration with Berl Senofsky in the Violin Concerto is particularly worth preserving, but throughout the set Walton and the NZSO make his music sound new, tart and challenging in a way that even accomplished recent performances have difficulty capturing" - BBC Music Magazine
