‘the sound is gorgeous. The main credit must go to James, his tonal concept and his setup. But there is also the recording venue (in this case the Music Room at Champs Hill) to consider. James and the producer/engineer Patrick Allen have contrived to use the hall’s natural acoustic to create a breadth of sound, while also keeping an immediacy from both oboe and piano. James is a consummate player, who can make difficult things sound easy; but the microphone placement brilliantly conveys the sheer physicalness of playing the oboe, of pushing against resistance’
Jeremy Polmear, Double Reed News

‘This is a beautifully played, interestingly programmed showcase of the oboe as a recital instrument’ BBC Music Magazine

‘The recording benefits from the gently supportive acoustic of [Champs Hill] … Everything about this recital is a delight. Readers who have chosen to read the full endorsement before deciding are now warmly encouraged to hear this gem.’ Fanfare

‘In Turnbull’s hands, the music dances and turns with graceful ease … Turnbull manages the many technical challenges easily and convincingly’ American Record Guide
