Edwin Roxburgh: Solos and Duos

Edwin Roxburgh: Solos and DuosThe diverse activities of performing, conducting and teaching have been constant motivations to Edwin Roxburghs principal profession, composing. The works here are inspired by the virtuosic skill of the performers featured on this recording.
