William Walton (1902 - 1983)

Walton was a maverick who relished his individuality, spurned his country by choosing to live on the idyllic island of Ischia, and yet was Elgar's natural successor as the voice of the British establishment in music. His bubbling exuberance and natural sense of humour were never far below the surface in whatever he wrote, and his outstanding ear for colour was demonstrated again and again.
