William Alwyn’s musical style is in the main of a romantic nature firmly grounded in tonality, notwithstanding some forays into modernity, calling on dissonance and freedom of from when he felt the need. This approach can be keenly felt in the works included on this disc, all of which were completed when he was aged between eighteen and twenty-five. • It is uncertain as to whether there were any public performances of String Quartets 6-9given at the time of their respective composition, as no documentation of this has survived. In more recent times, live performances of String Quartet No. 8 and 9 were given by the Villiers Quartet at the William Alwyn Festival held in October 2018 in the rural region of Suffolk and number 9 was performed again with the same Quartet during their tour of the USA in March 2019.
