5-STAR REVIEW FROM THE BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE

Ross Edwards’s Full Moon Dances for alto saxophone and orchestra of 2012 (recorded live under Miguel Harth-Bedoya) is a more substantial work, inspired by the moon goddesses of different cultures and a corresponding range of musical influences. Atmospheric nocturnal ceremonies alternate with frenetic ritual dances in a dramatic sequence which is also a brilliant showpiece for the soloist. In the concert hall the piece has a theatrical element of costume and lighting. But the thrilling performance and vivid recording more than make up for its absence.’
