About

Collins’ recording of Façade is a Gramophone classic …..Sitwell had one of the richest and most characterful speaking voices, and here she recites her early poems to the masterful, witty music of the youthful Walton with glorious relish. Peter Pears is splendid too in the fast poems, rattling off the lines like the grande dame herself, to demonstrate how near-nonsence can be pure poetry” (Penguin Guide Rosette)
