5 out of 5 stars Lovely writing, especially the Violin Sonata.......2006-12-27

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!
