About

Anthony Burgess was best known as an author. He eventually became one of the best known English literary figures of the latter half of the twentieth century. Although Burgess was predominantly a comic writer, 'A Clockwork Orange' remains his best known novel. He was a long-time literary critic for The Observer and The Guardian.

Burgess was also an accomplished musician and linguist. He composed over 250 musical works. This 2CD set features pieces written for recorder (many originally written for Andrew Burgess, Anthony’s son).

The collection also includes pieces by fourteen Burgess contemporaries – many premiered by John Turner, the soloist on this release, and as such presents an enticing collection of 20th Century Recorder Works – several receiving their first recording here.
