About
James Turnbull writes: 'This disc opens a door to the many different
ways in which English composers have explored the oboe since the late
nineteenth century'.
Edmund Rubbra composed his Sonata for Oboe and
Piano, op.100 in 1958 for Evelyn Rothwell (Lady Barbirolli) whom James
met while a student at the RAM.
Edward Longstaff, born in 1965, studied
at Royal Holloway College and Goldsmith's College. 'The incredible
energy I find in the contemporary works by John Casken and Edward
Longstaff is compelling and almost hypnotic to me. What these two
composers have achieved with Amethyst Deceiver and Aegeus is remarkable
in terms of the extremes they have pushed the oboist to portray'. John
Casken's Amethyst Deceiver is a world premiere recording.
James
encountered Victorian church composer Thomas Attwood Walmisley's
Sonatina through an edition prepared by Christopher Hogwood.
Gustav Holst
wrote very little mature chamber music, and the most important example is
the Terzetto for flute, oboe and viola he composed in 1925. The
wonderful Three Moods by Michael Berkeley and the Terzetto by Holst for
flute, oboe and viola of 1925 'display what a great variety of
character can be achieved and manage to balance vivid atmospheres with
moments of real joy'.
To conclude the recording, James has included
Vaughan Williams' Six Studies in English Folksong - in fact,
originally for cello and piano.
James Turnbull is an accomplished
English oboist, highly sought after for solo and chamber music concerts,
and is a featured artist of the Concert Promoters Network and the
Countess of Munster Recital Scheme. He has appeared as a soloist in live
radio broadcasts and at festivals including the Oxford Chamber Music
Festival, Swaledale, King's Lynn and Cambridge Summer Music. In 2010 he
gave his debut recital at the Wigmore Hall as an award winner from the
Worshipful Company of Musicians.
After gaining a First Class degree in
music from Christ Church, Oxford University, James continued his oboe
studies at the Royal Academy of Music and under Nicholas Daniel at
Trossingen Musikhochschule in Germany, where he was awarded First Class
for both his Artist and Soloist Diplomas. His debut solo disc, 'Fierce
Tears' was released in 2011 by Quartz music. Dedicated to broadening
the appeal of the oboe, James has launched a project called 'The Young
Person's Guide to the Oboe' which has an accompanying website.
