Joseph Swensen (Dir) // Walton's Violin Concerto was composed during a stay at the stunning Villa Cimbrone on Italy's Amalfi coast, and reflects this environment in different ways - some more apparent than others (the 2nd movement is based on a 'tarantella', after Walton suffered a tarantula bite whilst there). The piece has endured as one of his most popular works, and is contrasted here by Barber's Violin Concerto and famous Adagio for Strings.
