Another Hit for Mr Ball!!
I know Chris Ball's music through the playing of the excellent oboeist, Paul Arden Taylor. Both men love their music and excel in their respective roles of creating and playing it, thus bringing lightness, and enjoyment to the listener's ear... During the dull days of this winter, I've lightened the mood by playing tracts which conjure up time spent in the countryside soaking up the warmth of the sun and surrounds.. Recommend it!

I was first introduced to this music by hearing his evocative 'A Summer Day' and was immeidately captivated by it.and bought this CD with which I am well pleased. I shall buy more of this composer's CDs.
