Richard Pennycuick wrote concerning Doreen Carwithen: >I have a very attractive Chandos CD (CHAN9524) of two overtures, a suite >for orchestra and a concerto for piano and strings... There is also a >Chandos CD of her chamber music which I've not heard. I have the chamber music disc (CHAN9596) but not the orchestral one. I like it a lot - a nice mix of modern and traditional styles. The two string quartets are performed by the Sorrel String Quartet which is currently embarked on a cylce for Chandos of the Shostakovich string quartets (how well do they handle them?). The disc also includes a Carwithen sonata for violin and piano featuring Lydia Mordkovitch who seems to get uniformly bad reviews in U.S. magazines. She does tend to have an obsession with vibrato.
