Walton / Boult / London Sym Orch Walton: Facade / Bax: Coronation March CD

Returning Decca's pioneering recording of Facade to the catalogue, this generous collection of English music includes further gems from the Decca catalogue of orchestral pieces by Walton and two marches, by Bax and Bliss, respectively, to mark royal occasions in connection with Queen Elizabeth II. The liner notes include one written by Dame Edith Sitwell herself for the first LP issue of Facade and the cover illustration, especially commissioned for this reissue, takes it's title from one of Facade's numbers: "Something lies beyond the scene".
