In his last years, his works came back into critical fashion his later compositions, dismissed by critics at the time of their premieres, were revalued and regarded alongside his earlier works. His only full-length opera, Troilus and Cressida, was among the works to be so labelled and has made little impact in opera houses.
By this time, he had ceased to be regarded as a modernist, and some of his compositions of the 1950s were criticised as old-fashioned. In middle age, Walton left Britain and set up home with his young wife Susana on the Italian island of Ischia. His earliest work of note was a collaboration with Edith Sitwell, Façade, which at first brought him notoriety as a modernist, but later became a popular ballet score. On leaving the university, he was taken up by the literary Sitwell siblings, who provided him with a home and a cultural education. His best-known works include Façade, the cantata Belshazzar's Feast, the Viola Concerto, the First Symphony, and the British coronation marches Crown Imperial and Orb and Sceptre.īorn in Oldham, Lancashire, the son of a musician, Walton was a chorister and then an undergraduate at Christ Church, Oxford. During a sixty-year career, he wrote music in several classical genres and styles, from film scores to opera.
