Even less well-known than his film scores, Walton's only original ballet, The Quest, is still very much worth investigating, even if Walton himself admitted to being less than inspired whilst composing it! Bryden Thomson and the London Philharmonic Orchestra treat us to a colourful recording of the complete score, as well as a suite of the suriving music from The Wise Virgins, a 1940 Sadler's Wells commission where Walton was required to arrange and orchestrate music by Bach.
