This is the first movement, andante comodo. I converted this from a slideshow. I tried to make the pictures vaguely match the mood of the piece. My favorites are the two at the end. I uploaded this because every other Walton on youtube I've heard so far sucks.

@tonywsmith2 "This guy"??? You're talking about one of the 20th century's finest violists. Idiot. Once you can play 1/20th as well, let's talk.

@AbsoluteZ3R0 if a violist plays mechanically, he sounds like...a violinist! ;)

@cchamp27 Much like film grain in older movies right?

@amisanthropicman i always find the static adds some "homeiness" to it.

my only problem with this recording is the quality

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this piece! I don't agree with some of Primrose's interpretation (especially in the begininng - it feel rather choppy and way too detached), but I still respect him as a professional violist.

the best violia player ever!I

Teh chordz!

Now this is Walton! Forget the violinists that play the viola as a hobby. There is just no comparison when you listen to a viola virtuoso that has dedicated his life to this noble instrument.

Yet again it's been a while since I've listened to this recording. I nearly forgot how awesome this concerto is (as well as Primrose's playing). This piece is so badass because Walton is putting his heart on his sleeve during an era when other composers are adopting a more mechanical and mathematical approach to composition.
