. May I just ask, it is William Walyn or William Alwyn..?
Yes, that intrigued me, too.Dani_area_51 wrote:May I just ask, it is William Walyn or William Alwyn..?
I would add here that Alwyn is quite a notable composer, and died as late as 1985. So please regard this as a one-off upload of his works.WORKS

William Alwyn's a bit of a second-rater. Very enjoyable nevertheless, but little that is really memorable or original despite being expertly written - he had lots of practice, there are HUNDREDS of film scores.
I like his symphonies quite a lot (the third has moments that stick in the memory but it's terribly cliched). But I suspect his best music is when he is in an intimate mood - the chamber music: the three string quartets and the instrumental sonatas especially.
Not to some of us. His symphonies and string quartets are terrific. All Rosenberg is very welcome - and I know my friend Klavierelch has the same opinion. Thanks Alfred.alfor wrote:...Scandinavia - terra incognita...
His other sonatas are - at very reasonable prices - available here:rob wrote:Not to some of us. His symphonies and string quartets are terrific. All Rosenberg is very welcome - and I know my friend Klavierelch has the same opinion. Thanks Alfred.alfor wrote:...Scandinavia - terra incognita...
