Under Walker's prodding baton the band resisted the temptation to dissipate in the quiet passages and executed phases lyrically and cleanly. But while carefully molding individual sections of the work, Walker and the band could not overcome the problem of disunity inherent in the score. The "Overture" sounded like two separate compositions, and the three other movements seemed to have been written by different composers...
...wish: "I hope everyone on this fine Saturday morning can forget about politics, except me." Not a chance. Back came Butler to surrender. Then, at last, the hour of glory: Home's appearance on the doorstep, his smiling announcement that he was off to see the Queen, the quiet talk with Elizabeth in the Buckingham Palace audience chamber as sun softened the palace gardens and a military band played for the changing of the guard in the forecourt.

They took the unpromising lands that had fallen to them -the Sinai Peninsula and the dry fringes around Palestine-and made them amazingly fruitful...
...mystic studies of heroines seeking reconciliation with their pasts, Graham, now 70, dances Judith, aging and melancholy; with a dream's logic, Judith recalls her patriotic seduction and murder of Holofernes, while real and imagined forms confront her to weave with their dance the tangle of her quiet doom. In Circe, Graham turns Ulysses' odyssey into an inner event, a flight of the imagination in which enchantment is only a prelude to bestiality, and anguish is the only alternative to evil...
