A Wartime Sketchbook, 1941-42 (1990) - Walton
Ok. I admit it. Walton is in my top 5 of favourite composers.

Symphony 1 - Walton
LPO conducted by Bryden Thomson (a symphony not heard often enough and directed here by a conductor who was much under appreciated). This is, simply, the best interpretation of a 20thC masterpiece.
