About

This release marks the 70th year of a composer who has recently received long-overdue recognition through the release on NMC of his evocative orchestral work Saturn and the highly accomplished Clarinet Concerto (NMC D119).

The current release brings together his complete works for piano solo and duo and is performed by a cast of eight brilliant pianists, including those who commissioned or premiered the works: together they bring their separate talents to this diverse body of work, a fitting tribute to his long career as a composer and teacher.

Edwin Roxburgh’s Saturn reviewed in The Wire, 2006:

“Saturn is an epic orchestral and electronic space-scape, effortlessly blending Roxburgh’s understanding of Boulez and Stockhausen with a Birtwistle-like sense of ritual. An orbiting soprano saxophone beams down ideas to an orchestral underlay dominated by clattering percussion and mind-expanding electronics; this is an extraordinarily ballsy mission undertaken by HCYO.”
