Pamela Hunter's 'complete version' of Facade is an essential addition to any Walton collection. Her enunciation of the words is exemplary, as is her recorded balance. The first 18 tracks have the poems in the order used at the first (private) performance and - a novel approach - she reads those poems for which the music is no longer extant. Although she omits three further poems for which the music is now lost (Clown Argheb's Song, Gone Dry and Dark Song), musically her CD is as complete as possible. The booklet contains all the texts. If one is to hear the whole CD in a single sitting one might feel that having two reciters avoids any monotony of the single voice, but because the words are of prime importance it has to be said that Pamela Hunter's version is the one to be preferred. With her, the last word in A Man from a Far Countree, instead of a firm spoken 'oh', becomes an expressive hushed 'ah!' which might well echo the listener's reaction to this version.
