Adam Gorb is widely associated with the symphonic wind ensemble, a genre that scarcely existed in Britain 30 years ago.
Adam Gorb, the composer, started composing at age ten and had some of his piano pieces performed on BBC Radio 3 when he was fifteen.
Adam Gorb began writing for symphonic wind ensemble almost by accident in 1992, after his teacher Paul Patterson suggested it for a festival.
The RNCM Wind Orchestra, the ensemble on this recording, was the first conservatoire ensemble invited to perform at the BBC Proms.
This recording was financially supported by Royal Northern College of Music Research Funding.
Timothy Reynish, one of the conductors on this album, was instrumental in developing the RNCM Wind Orchestra into one of the best in the world.
All works on this album were recorded at the RNCM Concert Hall in Manchester.
