It's a Finnwake personal rip (september 2010): 1 zip file with the 15 tracks on ape files (compressed from the original wave files), the 8 page booklet (in English), plus front and back cover.

This is a 1995 edition of a 1987 original release. Although this disc is named "Film Music", there is, among film score suites, the interlude (act II) from the opera "Troilus and Cressida" (1954).

Sir William Turner Walton OM (29 March 1902 – 8 March 1983) was a British composer and conductor.
His style was influenced by the works of Stravinsky and Prokofiev as well as jazz music, and is characterized by rhythmic vitality, bittersweet harmony, sweeping Romantic melody and brilliant orchestration. His output includes orchestral and choral works, chamber music and ceremonial music, as well as notable film scores. His earliest works, especially Edith Sitwell's Façade, brought him notoriety as a modernist, but it was with orchestral symphonic works and the oratorio Belshazzar's Feast that he gained international recognition.

As You Like It, after Shakespeare comedy, was the second film score by Walton (directed by Peter Czinner, 1936); Henry V (1944) was directed by Laurence Olivier and it was the first (of four) Walton-Olivier collaboration (Henry V, 1944; Hamlet, 1948; Richard III, 1955; Three Sisters, 1969). Walton wrote the score for Battle of Britain (1969), directed by Guy Hamilton, but was replaced by a new score by Ron Goodwin, except the "Battle in the air sequence". The album ends with a march from the unused score for a television show, based on Churchill's A History of the English Speaking Peoples, produced in 1959.
