Good Angel's Tears - Journeys through light and dark: Symphonies 1-5
Krasnoyarsk Academic SO/Andrew Wheeler rec. 1999 ETCETERA KTC 2026
Broadstock does not place elitist obstacles between himself and the listener. His music speaks direct from the heart to the heart.
Stunning golden work radiating a sense of kindly exaltation with a blazing kinetic forward pulse.
Not newly released but a magnificent and vividly living achievement which I urge you to hear.
If you like to be sparing with your musical adventures then make this the set you buy in the near future
