Free Music Notes for Walton: Belshazzar's Feast
Free Music Review: High quality recording
Hit: 5 Stars
I wasn't expecting much based on the inexpensive price, but this recording blew me away. The recording is phenomenol. The orchestra is outstanding and the brass section is wholesome (and even has a little edge, in a good way). The choir is powerful and full of emotion. Highly recommended.
Walton: Belshazzar's Feast Poster
Walton?s searing oratorio, Belshazzar?s Feast, written for baritone, chorus and a huge orchestra with an augmented brass section, takes as its subject the scene from the Bible (Book of Daniel) in which, at King Belshazzar?s Feast, a hand appears and prophetically writes a doom laden message on the wall. Often compared on account of its pulsating drive and barbaric splendour with Orff?s Carmina Burana, Belshazzar?s Feast is now regarded as the finest British large-scale choral work since Elgar?s Dream of Gerontius.Classical Music CDs
