A Walk into War

“The cream of classical musicians came together for a world premiere presented as one of the highlights of Salisbury Festival and hailed by the festival director as a ‘masterpiece’ of modern chamber works. ... It moves from a summer morning of fresh expectation as the young Laurie Lee set out to life in London and the grim realities of the Spanish Civil War to the 'fresh morning skies' as he leaves the fighting for love and new life. Stimpson's work is sensitive and dramatic. The music provides a thoughtful commentary on Lee's words.”
