"What better choice than Christopher Redgate to present a selection of contemporary British works....Each work receives performances which are both technical feats of virtuosity as well as the products of a virtuosic imagination. Interestingly, listening to Sequenza VII after the other works, which push the oboe beyond the extremities of register and technique, reveals new perspectives on the work – never have I experienced such a tender reading of the work, particularly during the final section in which the multiphonics stand so elegantly poised." 
SPNM on-line review. Philip Thomas.

"This extraordinary disc from the oboe fanatic's label is a showcase for multiphonics, triple tonguing, flutter tonguing and circular breathing. But while the sounds and their production are compelling, this is intensely meaningful virtuosity. Although primarily an interpreter, Redgate improvises on "Le Api" ("The Bees") by 19th century oboist Antonino Pasculli, blasting through a compendium of extended techniques like a free jazz wildman...Forget the instrument's bucolic image, this is a great recording of new music." 
Andy Hamilton: The Wire

"Christopher Redgate is a tireless champion of music that embraces extended oboe techniques...throughout Christopher Redgate gives everything, not only in terms of his commitment, but also in his undying energy."

The British oboist and composer Edwin Roxburgh has said: "It's not simply your virtuosity which amazes me, it is the sensitivity of your artistry, especially in Roger's piece and the Berio. There is no question in my mind that yours (without exception) is the finest recording of the Sequenza and the finest performance. As for your piece, the question arises - why have you not composed more music? Perhaps you have a secret horde. If so, we should hear it. This is the finest possible tribute to your playing and to the composers you have served with such integrity.
