Description

James Turnbull (oboe), Libby Burgess (piano)

“…There is no disputing the technical facility of James Turnbull or the warm, sensitive pianism of Libby Burgess…”
Observer

“An interesting programme, and all extremely well played.”
Albion Magazine

“These are wonderful performances of a variety of English works. The recording made in the Music Room, Champs Hill, West Sussex, England is crystal clear.”
The Classical Reviewer
