"Walton's performance of the Shostakovich 2nd Concerto is wholly satisfying. He hits exactly the right melancholic tone for the majority of the first movement." (MusicWeb Jan 2009)

"Walton's performance of the Shostakovich 2nd Concerto is wholly satisfying. He hits exactly the right melancholic tone for the majority of the first movement; by turns he's restrained, winsome and desperate, in the upper register, where he screams in agony. All in all this is excellent. The cadenza is particularly fine."
(MusicWeb Jan 2009)

Jamie Walton's second disc with Signum promises to follow in the formidable footsteps of his first release with the Philharmonia, where he played Elgar and Myaskovsky. The critical reaction to this disc has been phenomenal, from both mainstream papers and musical journals. Jamie's performance of the Elgar has also received a large amount of airplay support from Classic FM and much interest has already been expressed in this new recording.
