Presented by Sir Hamilton Harty with the London Symphony Orchestra William Walton’s First Symphony bean its career without a final movement; ut despite this handicap-for the music is obviously conceived as-an organic whole -it aroused great enthusiasm when first performed by the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Hamilton Harty, in December, 1934, and again when it was

done by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, under Dr. Malcolm Sargent, in April, 1935. The first performance of the complete symphony with its new Finale was given at a BBC Symphony Concert under sir Hamilton Harty on November 6, 1935. This Finale is undoubtedly a great climax to a great work, which indicates vet another important landmark in the development of the modern British Symphony. 4.0 Daventry news 4.20 Selected recordings 4.30 Close down 5.30 Children’s Song Service 6.15 Daventry news 7. 0 Baptist Service, relayed from Tabernacle.
