Today, Walton's villa, with its wonderful garden called Giardini La Mortella, is open to the public. During his life Walton received several awards for his work, including an honorary degree from Oxford University, and the knighthood (hence his title Sir) and the Order of Merit from the Queen. Other major works are the cello concerto, written for Piatigorski in 1956 and the Second Symphony. Walton composed less, also because of health problems, but continued to travel to conduct his own works, visiting also Australia, New Zealand and Russia. The composer's self confidence was weakened by this. It was successful in London and USA but not as well received in Italy. They married two months later, in 1948, and then went to live in Italy, on the island of Ischia, near Naples, where, over the years, the Waltons built a luxurious villa with a marvellous garden.ДЄfter hard work, in 1954 the opera Troilus and Cressida was completed. Walton was an English man who loved the sun and characterВ of Latin countries.В While travelling for a conference in Argentina he met the 24 years younger Argentinian woman who'd become his wife.

Some compositions from this time are FaГ§ade, on a poem by Edith Sitwell, the Sinfonia concertante and Belshazzar's Feast.В The viola concertoВ was composed in 1928-29 and its composer, therefore, was only twenty-six. During this time he attended the Russian ballet, met StravinskyВ and Gershwin, listened to jazzВ music and for the first time travelled to Italy, a very important experience for him. Thanks to them, Walton enjoyed financial freedom that enabled him to compose, and a lively cultural environment. He left at 18 without a degree and went to live in London, 'adopted' by the Sitwell family friends of him, with whom lived for about ten years. Walton entered Oxford University at 16.ДЄt the university library Walton had the opportunity to study the works of Debussy, Ravel, Prokofiev and Stravinsky.

He also received encouragement for his early composition works and financial support. There he received musical instruction as a singer and also learned to play piano and violin.

Soon he showed good musical faculties singing in his fatherвЂ™s choir and at only ten won a scholarship to sing in the choir at Christ Church Cathedral, in Oxford, at which school he remained for six years. His parents were both musicians, a baritone and a contralto. He was born in on 29 March 1902 in England, near Manchester into a modest family.
