About
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 Sonata to 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.

This collection was a joy to listen to, and the recorded sound captures everything with clarity and dynamics. Hats off to pianist Paul Janes, who did the heavy lifting in this recital.
