"Anyone who remembers the old Denon LP of this will recall that it's extremely powerful music, masterfully orchestrated and an audiophile's dream come true, if properly recorded, as it is here. Batten down your speakers! "

WALTON: Viola Concerto, 
Helen Callus / New Zealand Symphony Orchestra / Marc Taddei  
ASV Sanctuary Classics
"Helen Callus plays with sumptuous tone matched by flawless intonation to give the most beautiful account i have ever heard of the Walton Concerto. She brings out the warmth of Walton's lyricism, one memorable theme after another, and finds a rare mystery in the pianissimo passages, above all in the haunting epilogue."
