From Honey to Ashes is a collection of Stephen Goss’s engaging, entertaining, and richly diverse works for flute and guitar. It offers the listener an insight into his distinctive musical preoccupations – storytelling, music about music, homage, musical landscapes, and collaboration. The music recorded here is sculpted and transformed by Goss’s close collaborative work with Emily Andrews and Francisco Correa, whose imaginative input nourishes and enriches Goss’s soundworlds. The compositions span a thirty-seven year period, comprising old favourites and brand new works specially commissioned for this this album. By turns delicate and poised, moving, witty, poignant, boisterous, nostalgic, celebratory – this is music to give pleasure to its performers and listeners alike.
