Editorial Review:
"In the sphere of instrumental music Williams never surpassed the polished yet strongly felt Sea Sketches in which ... one hears echoes of her friend Benjamin Britten's Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge." - GRAMOPHONE Grace Williams (1906-1977) may be considered one of the finest women composers of the twentieth century, but her work has been cruelly neglected. A pupil of Egon Wellesz and Ralph Vaughan Williams, she wrote passionate music influenced by both Mahler and Shostakovich. Fantasia on Welsh Nursery Tunes is her most famous work.
