Airs, Blues & Dances
Label: CHAMPS HILL RECORDS Catalog: CHRCD099 Format: COMPACT DISC TURNBULL BURGESS, JAMES TURNBULLThis new release from Champs Hill Records showcases some of the most beautiful oboe repertoire of the past thirty years. Oboist James Turnbull says of the selections chosen, “It is the contrast between compositions that fascinate me most about the music we recorded.” Especially notable is David Matthews’ composition Montana Taylor’s Blues, which was inspired by Arthur ‘Montana’ Taylor’s blues playing which inspired a cult-like following in the 1940s. Matthews says of the work, “ I was particularly struck by the poignant harmony which suggested that Taylor must have heard some classical music… during his itinerant life.” Price: $25.98 |
