I was in the RAF, not during the war, I hasten to add, but I remember it being played by 5th regional Band.
My wife and I are going tomorrow to a concert by the Halle Orchestra. this is on the program.

@fiendero Your sister has excellent taste and there couldn't be a better sound for a wedding. Well done. My wife and I had the Dambuster theme at the end of our wedding.

@lobobreed Don't forget the Hurricane!

love the bit in the fugue with the high-pitched violin solo.

William Walton was one of the best writers of the 20th century and is sadly and unfortunately neglected when talking about the greats, oftentimes. His work was and will remain magnificent in every way. He's been a huge influence on me as a composer and overall musician and I greatly admire him.

I would love to have heard that, even though I'm not a huge WW fan!

Best of British Bosch Bashing !

To all the Brits who seem to have prominence in this conversation I say "Bravo!"
Sir William Walton captures the very best in your national character.

I saw this piece played by an orchestra at a proms in the park event whilst a Spitfire danced in the sky overhead - I was only 31 at the time and I had a tear in my eye - stirring stuff !!!!

There is nothing MORE "annoying" or "insufferable" than someone criticising the grammar & tiny mistakes of others--yes,others as well as myself,I see on other videos--on a casual site such as this when surely the object is to view & comment on the video? How very small-minded can you be?especially as I was in praise of this lovely music & all it stands for! You are welcome to call me--"illiterate"--that is your opinion,whereas mine,of you,is--rude,arrogant,ignorant. Pompous,in fact!!
