An appealing programme, whose high-spots include York Bowen’s entrancing 1925 miniature, The Way to Polden, the dreamy Bolinge Hill by Peter Thompson and Frank Bridge’s Three Sketches
Gramophone
Williams’s playing is essentially English – unfussy, no unnecessary emphases, but full of conviction … The playing throughout is clear and finely articulated – but loses none of the poetry.
Colin Scott-Sutherland, MusicWeb International
