About
'His Scottish composer friends were legion, and this disc includes music by several of them, David Johnson, John Purser, Wilma Paterson and Eddie McGuire. His overseas friends were many, and notably included Grainger, some of whose music Stevenson arranged for various instruments. Grainger himself made two entrancing versions of the well known and much loved Country Gardens for recorders, at his friend Balfour Gardiner's house, which bookend this disc, and have not previously been heard.'
Reviews
This is a splendid programme. The repertoire is original and interesting. All performances are superb. Special mention must be made of John Turner’s fine playing on the recorder and of Lesley-Jane Rogers’s beautiful, clear soprano voice.Error on this page? Let us know here
