5.0 out of 5 stars
Lovely writing, especially the Violin Sonata, December 26, 2006
This review is from: String Quartets 1 & 2 / Violin Sonata (Audio CD)
The String quartets are certainly worth hearing, but the violin sonata is special. The first movement is passionate and compelling, while the closing of the finale has a hushed stillness which is rare in 20th century music. William Alwyn, her husband wrote similar music, but I prefer Carwithen's style, kind of like an amalgamation of Howells, Finzi, Arnold, and Vaughan-Williams! Strongly Recommended!
