Heather Roche - Christopher Fox: Headlong

The new album �Headlong� contains all but one of Christopher Fox�s works for solo clarinet and like his previous M�tier albums is an awe-inspiring mix of compositions which may be avant-garde and untraditional, but he has the gift of using relative simplicity and very often a wit which makes listening enjoyable and often good fun too. His position as one of the most individual and talented of today�s modernists is assured. The brilliant Heather Roche is the sole performer on the album, playing clarinets in E flat and C, bass clarinet and contrabass, often overdubbing to duet with herself and with occasional electronics and sampling to create additional textures.
