This is an actuality in which classical music conductor Andrew Litton talks about a new composition by William Walton that sets to music some of William Shakespeare?s Henry V. It?s good as actualities go, and could be useful if proper context were added. For example, it could be part of a classical music announcer?s introduction to this work, or in an arts feature about the composer.
