Walton CD Cover
1994
In 1994, Brian Clarke designed the CD cover for The Walton Edition, a collection of major works by Oldham-born musician and composer Sir William Turner Walton (1902–1983), published by the historic record label EMI. This edition spans a wide range of Walton's compositions, including his symphonies, concertos for cello and violin, and celebrated works such as Belshazzar's Feast.
The accompanying booklet to the CD includes reproductions of Clarke’s stained glass works created for Oldham’s Spindles Town Square Shopping Centre. These incorporate specific references to Walton’s music, such as pages from the original scores of Belshazzar's Feast and the Te Deum.
