Walton himself conducted the premiere of his warmly lyrical Viola Concerto, in a Proms concert that featured Paul Hindemith as soloist. While Walton, still early in his career, tapped into a new vein of mature expression, Rakhmaninov, in his final orchestral work, found a blistering exuberance at the end of his life; this was a work that Malcolm Sargent introduced to this country at the Proms.
