About William
Walton
Edition
In
March 2014 Oxford
University Press
published the last volume
in its magnificent
William Walton Edition,
the only complete
critical edition of a
20th-century British
composer's oeuvre. All 24
volumes are handsomely
printed and bound.
Walton's entire output is
now available to scholars
and performers in a
definitive and fully
practical edition, based
on the form in which the
composer ultimately
wished his music to be
performed. The general
editor, David Lloyd-Jones
- the eminent conductor,
English music specialist,
and founder of Opera
North - invited a
world-class expert to
edit each volume.
Carefully researched
introductory essays place
the works in their
historical context and in
the composer's oeuvre,
and there are full
critical notes.
