“A progressive thinking contemporary classical composer as well as a fine player, Roxburgh’s work is in fine hands with Redgate at the wheel. It all adds up to something special”

“Oboists owe a huge debt to Roxburgh. The highly accomplished Christopher Redgate offers a fascinating overview of Roxburgh’s prolific and visionary output.”
Stephen Pritchard
The Observer
“ This particular disc is one of a welcome number recently devoted to [Roxburgh’s]compositions. The instrumentalists all play with the most adroit technical and expressive control. Christopher Redgate vanquishes one virtuosic challenge after another and brings to these works an eloquent awareness of their variousness.”

“Edwin Roxburgh... is a fine craftsman with an astute ear and a real sense of structural design... more than evident in this collection given superb performances by Christopher Redgate, the most distinguished of contemporary oboe players. This recording is not only exquisitely performed, but clearly and sympathetically balanced.”

“Stylishly performed...Roxburgh never substitutes trickery for musicality. Study 1... and Aulodie have an admirable lyric purity”
Paul Driver
The Sunday Times
“For superhuman technical slickness, Redgate has it sewn up. Redgate us also a considered player of lines...he walks Roxburgh;s snaking line with deft poise.”
