4:21 his c string sound is just as boxy as Vengerov, I'm afraid that's just what little violas sound like, to not sound like s**t down there something like 16.5 inches is required. And for a viola to be acoustically correct it would have to be 24 inches in size, one day the viola history books will be rewritten by a 9 foot giant!

@doumne A LOT of violists don't know the Forsyth.
It's my favorite of all viola concertoes though.
I LOVE it.

@auerstadt06 I think the problem with Walton is the same as with most British composers of his era, eg Bantock, Butterworth, Forsyth, Finzi, Bridge, Arnold, Bax etc who are only recently being popularised. It's the insularity of British music at the time and its struggle for light in the long shadow cast by Elgar, and then RVW. Walton was one of the last great romantics breaking into a modern language which all too soon became colonised by Britten etc. But still a mighty great in is own right!

@Giuliani7222 I was fooled by how amazing this sounded and purchased his recordings of the 1st and 2nd movements on itunes. Big mistake. In this recording how sounds amazing and this recording defines to me how the 3rd movement should be played, but I really dislike his recordings of the other 2 movements.

@speedy2343 Not true, I love Vengerov and his movement makes me love him more, and I'm a violist.
Very well played.
Now all you need to do is post the second and first movements :D
