Walter was with the Rochester Ars Antiqua ensemble as a performer and narrator in their "Elizabethan Masters" productions during 1963 and 1964.  Long accustomed to producing professionally recorded "live" performances, Walter used WHAM's state-of-the-art equipment to professionally record the above mentioned performance, one of two productions in Ars Antiqua's "Elizabethan Masters" programs.   As far as possible, excerpts from Walter's recordings have been used on this Ars Antiqua site.

Unfortunately, neither Sheron Dixon nor Dorothy Amarandos knew these recordings existed until long after Ms Amarandos' beautiful CD set of Rochester's Ars Antiqua music was produced.
