SAXTON ‘Piano Music’ CD voted one of 2018’s best by Sunday Times
12 December 2018Reviewers David Cairns, Hugh Canning and Paul Drive wrote: ‘These Hortus Musicae, Books 1 and 2, are “musical gardens” that take literary inspiration from Marvell, Auden, Song of Solomon and even Proust.’ Other works on the CD are Chacony for Piano Left Hand (1988), Sonata for Piano (1981) and Lullaby for Rosa (2016).
