For ten years, our concerto for alto saxophone and orchestra, The Tale of Taliesin, has forged it's own mysterious path through the concert landscape. Published by Editions Billaudot in 2011, and since interpreted by numerous musicians around the world, it has traveled from Germany through France to Russia, and back again.

Today the work has been released on CD today on LAWO Classics.

In some way, the piece has ended were it belongs, with original commissioner Ola Asdahl Rokkones, Fabio Mastrangelo and the St. Petersburg Northern Sinfonia. The CD also includes wonderful pieces by Torstein Aagaard-Nilsen and Kjell Habbestad. Thrilled to have my composition played again by Lara James, Shaun Matthew and the Scarborough Symphony Orchestra in May 2019. Links to direct sale and Itunes on the shop page.
