Melbourne Symphony Orchestra

Heart Of Night (CD)

These concertos by leading Australian composer Ross Edwards received standing ovations in the concert hall; now they are committed to CD for the first time. Classical music, says Edwards, ‘needs to actually seduce people,’ and these three ravishing concertos, featuring virtuoso soloists Riley Lee on the shakuhachi (Japanese flute), oboist Diana Doherty and clarinettist David Thomas, are a delight to the senses.
