Nightlight
Nightlight is a compelling exploration of the contrariness of night, its turmoil, terror and tenderness, and the longing for light.
Inspired by Williams’ experience mothering her two infant children in the isolating dead of night while the world around her slept, Nightlight is dedicated, she says, “to the many people who… feel alone in the darkness. To those who experience despair or sublime melancholy during the hours before the dawn, who are searching for solace, peace or impossible hope. To anyone lost who is waiting to be found by the light”.

Piano music by Bach and Pärt
Two sublime voices presented together for the first time on disc, in a poetic and probing coupling of the solo piano music of JS Bach and Arvo Pärt.
Bach: Two and Three Part Inventions, Praeambulum in C
Pärt: Für Anna Maria, Für Alina, Variationen zur Gesundung von Arinuschka
“The sheer clarity of Williams’ Bach – two absolutely equal hands, voices chasing each other playfully – lends qualities of purity and truthfulness to her readings… Williams has the ability to mesmerise in Pärt, creating stillness, even timelessness… this is a magnificently stimulating concept, brilliantly realised. 
— Colin Clarke, International Piano

“The spontaneity of the performances, as well as the beauty of the piano tone, … linger in the mind.” 
— BBC Music Magazine
“Williams’ brilliantly fluid technique and unassuming mastery of the piano is to the fore…” — Classic FM
“There’s romantic fire lurking under the surface. No 3 [D899] is almost Brahmsian in its achingly beautiful sweep, and there’s a delicious, dark brooding beneath the delicacy of No 1, D935.” — Stephen Pritchard, The Guardian
