Notes
Edward Gregson’s career has followed two parallel paths, one to the top tier of music education and the other towards the international reputation he now enjoys as a composer. This representative selection is Gregson’s own and spans more than half a century, from the youthful exuberance of his Oboe Sonatato specially prepared versions of two of his most evocative compositions, Three Matisse Impressions and Love Goddess. The selected soloists are drawn from two leading symphony orchestras with which Gregson enjoys special relationships.

Reviews
“… Brass enthusiasts familiar with his [Gregson] concertos for horn, trombone, and tuba will enjoy the brass works here, as they are some of the best… The strength of this music is in the proficient and idiomatic writing for each instrument … this is delightful stuff.”
Nathan Faro – American Record Guide – September/October 2021
"... Existing admirers of the composers need not hesitate to add this well-recorded and produced release to their collection. For those who have yet to discover his rewarding musical voice, it makes an excellent introduction." *****
Paul Conway - Musical Opinion Quarterly - July - September 2021
“… A strong group of soloists drawn from the Hallé and BBC Philharmonic orchestras bring erudition, vitality and interpretive understanding to all this music. I found every piece and movement splendidly played and interpreted. Naxos’s sound recording is excellent. The liner notes by Paul Hindmarsh are extensive and provide all the information required for enjoyment of this eclectic and wide-ranging music. It is a cliché, but I do hope that there are several more CDs of Edward Gregson’s music “in the can”, be they instrumental, symphonic or chamber.”
