Primarily known as a composer for films such as Odd Man Out and Fallen Idol, William Alwyn also wrote many works for the concert hall, which are rarely heard today. In the year of the centenary of Alwyn's birth, Donald Macleod endeavours to set the record straight as he explores the wealth of music Alwyn created during his long and prolific career.
