[Bebbington] has a rewarding slant on the eleven waltzes, composed between 1954 and 1955...There’s no other performance [of the Carwithen] with which to compare Bebbington’s but there’s every sign that he is wholly in command of the idiom, and I’d say that he sounds as if he loves ever bar of it.

[Carwithen's Sonatina] sparkles with rhythmic energy in its outer movements but finds a beautiful stillness at its Debussyian core. Bebbington dispatches Alwyn's virtuosic, Grieg-inspired Fantasy Waltzes with real panache and romps through the rewarding neoclassicism of the Sonata alla Toccata. A revelatory disc.
