Alwyn(1905-1985)

Description:

A collection of chamber music as austere as the colors of the dark English sky Famous for his film music, Alwyn left behind a vast body of works during his lifetime. Did chamber music play a role in revealing his inner self? It shows an extremely introspective side. As the compositional period progresses, the style becomes more concentrated and weighty, reaching a harsh, beautiful, cutting, silver-world atmosphere.
