The diverse activities of performing, conducting and teaching have been constant motivations to Edwin Roxburgh’s principal profession, composing. The works here are inspired by the virtuosic skill of the performers featured on this recording. They are joined by the composer himself in his meditative and transcendent work for oboe and electronics At the Still Point of the Turning World..., in which the sound of the oboe is fed through delay effects initially designed for a performance of Stockhausen’s Solo, and here recreated by Lawrence Casserley.
