Debbie Oliver performing "3 Songs of Edith Sitwell" taken from "Façade" by William Walton

ii) Through Guilded Trellises
iii) Old Sir Faulk
"Façade" - "An Entertainment" is a composition built from series of poems which are recited over an instrumental accompaniment. The public premiere of the "Entertainment" given at the Aeolian Hall, London, in June 1923, received a mixed press. The performance consisted of Sitwell's verses, which she recited through a megaphone protruding through a decorated screen, while Walton conducted an ensemble of six players in his accompanying music. The critics were generally condemnatory, but with many admitting that it was naggingly memorable!
Walton set these three selections from "Façade" as art-songs for soprano and piano, to be sung at full voice rather than spoken rhythmically.
Recorded at St.Ann's Church, Manchester
