Peter Varley's post on Grace Williams' 2nd symphony and Ballads has my full support, and reminded me of another name worth mentioning - Doreen Carwithen. I have a very attractive Chandos CD (CHAN9524) of two overtures, a suite for orchestra and a concerto for piano and strings. She was William Alwyn's amanuensis and later married him, but already had quite a work list, including a number of film scores. There is also a Chandos CD of her chamber music which I've not heard.
