Music reviews of And Who Shall Go to the Ball? And What Shall Go to the Ball?

Music Review: Of miniscule interest even for this passionate Walker fan
Rating: 1 Stars

In addition to his strong baritone, Scott Walker had always had some interesting ideas about orchestration, and in the late 1990s he contributed a purely instrumental score to a French film. Soon after the release of his critically acclaimed album THE DRIFT, Walker was asked to write a ballet for the CandoCo Dance Company: "And Who Shall Go to the Ball? And What Shall Go to the Ball?" The music was performed by the London Sinfonietta and cellist Philip Sheppard, and 4AD released the 24-minute work as a limited edition in October 2007.

You can sort of guess how appealing this album is by the fact that, although only 2500 pressings were made, cheap used copies are abundant. There are no vocals here, and the music consists only of the atonal strings that form the backing of Walker's last album. There are moments here that hint at drama, and perhaps when joined to dancers this production worked well, but for a home listener I daresay there's zero interest here.
