Walton's 'Richard III' Prelude, from the classic 1955 Laurence Olivier film, was introduced by actor Timothy West and energetically conducted by Rumon Gamba. It featured in a 'British Film Music' Prom at London's Royal Albert Hall in 2003 which was played by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Apologies for the VHS video "glitch" towards the end: the tape had become slightly damaged.
