Geoffrey Collins (flutes) Collins has singlehandedly created the Australian flute repertoire and this is his third solo recording. Five of these works were written for Collins, and show that he inspires composers to feel free to write whatever they like! “The disc takes its title from Andrew Ford's brief piece Spinning. This is really only a miniature, but it is an enjoyably energetic and well-crafted one. In fact, though, the most interesting work on the disc is Carl Vine's Sonata for Flute and Piano which successfully pursues the same kind of driving, insistent path as the composer's piano sonata [no.1].” The Australian, May 1995 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |

| |  | Raft Song at Sunrise: Chamber Music of Ross Edwards Vol. 2
Following on from the best-selling first volume of Edwards chamber music (Ecstatic Dances, TP051), this CD contains some of the most enduring of his works, all on CD for the first time. It includes the ever-popular Latin setting, 'Ab estatis foribus', and the seminal chamber work 'Laikan' played by the Australia Ensemble, as well as a stunning work for solo shakuhachi played by Riley Lee. “Ross Edwards's chamber music is lively and neo-primitive, with hints of minimalism and the use of folk music. He writes well for chorus and shows an exceptional understanding of instruments and the traditions behind them. A good example of this understanding is the solo shakuhachi piece, Raft Sing at Sunrise, with its bend tones and undulating phrases. The music begins to take on a feeling of sameness by the end of the disc, but offers rewarding listening a piece at a time. Fine performances and good sound.” American Record Guide, July 2000 “On the evidence of this beautifully performed and extremely well-produced Tall Poppies anthology, Sydney-based Ross Edwards (b.1944) is a composer of impressive resource and uncommonly fertile imagination, writing with equal facility for vocal or instrumental forces, no matter how exotic (Raft Song at Sunrise is a hypnotic meditation for the shakuhachi, a Japanese bamboo flute). Australia’s indigenous folk culture, wildlife and landscape all have their place in this stimulating cocktail, too. A most attractive collection” Gramophone Magazine, November 1999 | | | Usually despatched in 8 - 10 working days. |
