Composer Scott Wheeler writes that "Martin Boykan (1931-2021) wrote music that digs deep, and rewards the closest listening. Every phrase of the music on this recording is first of all heartfelt, carefully considered and fascinatingly intricate. It's music full of melody, often yearning, and frequently sparkling." The third volume of Bridge's Martin Boykan series presents first recordings of six works composed over 41 years, between 1975 and 2016.
Reviews:
"Excellent performances from musicians who mostly worked with Boykan at first hand, plus fine sound and personable annotations from pianist and conductor Scott Wheeler, make for a persuasive introduction to the composer." — Gramophone
