Delighted to see your comment about Walton's symphonies on the Mahler talk page. My mentor on Wikipedia, the late Brian Boulton, was responsible for taking the Mahler article to Featured Article status, and with BB's benevolent eye on me I did the same for Walton's. He is a composer who means a great deal to me. I had the luck to be at LSO concerts conducted by Previn and later by Colin Davis at which the First Symphony made an unforgettable impression on me. I'm very fond of the Second, though I agree with the critic who said it was as much a divertimento as a symphony.
I hope you will continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Best wishes, Tim riley talk 10:49, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
Hmm. Probably not, I think. True, WW was well represented today, but so were Elgar and RVW, with more than one work apiece, and truth to tell Handel and Parry were, as ever, the star composers for a coronation. (I saw the 1953 one on my grandparents' television but as I was aged seventeen months I don't remember anything of it.) Odd choice, I thought, to have Boyce's setting of The King Shall Rejoice today, rather than Handel's knock-out setting. As to WW, I think the omission of Orb and Sceptre reflects my own view that it isn't a patch on Crown Imperial, although curiously no-one from the Royal Household or Westminster Abbey invited my opinion on the matter. Delighted to hear from you about WW again! Tim riley talk 14:23, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
