About
This 2CD set presents a number of works thatcan be classed as “double concertos” by two leading composers of today. All works are highly accessible, but at the same time quite challenging forthe soloists. In every case, this collection is the first time these pieces have been committed to a commercial recording.

a discerning and imaginative voice. It's certailny good to have Crosse back and writing again...all the performances under Timothy Reynish's clear-headed direction are sympathetic, and the sound is first-class throughout. Well worth hunting down.
