鈥淚 try to write something I'm going to be able to live with, and hope that others will begin to find some of the things that I feel have given certain strength to the music鈥� said George Walker. 鈥淚 don't really believe in creating something that doesn't have any strength鈥�. The 主播大秀 Symphony Orchestra plays two of his late Sinfonias, as well as his single best-known work 鈥� the beautiful Lyric for Strings.

Walker didn鈥檛 go in for elaborate titles. 鈥淭hings that are overly embellished, or that are too rich, just don鈥檛 suit my temperament鈥� he said. But make no mistake, his Movements (a cello concerto by any other name), his concise but deeply-felt Mass and his late masterpiece 鈥� the Sinfonia No.5 鈥� are music that speaks directly to our times, impassioned, unsparing and unambiguously sincere.
