‘Points of Decision
‘Points of Decision’, on my first CD entitled “Journeys after…” has now been released by Parma Recordings on the Navona label.
Points of Decision” has a very mysterioso way about it–modern, evocative, on the neo-impressionist side of things in its vivid orchestral color. “
“The writing is at turns bold, colourful, delicate and otherworldly”
Both works show Noyes as a figure to be reckoned with in the new orchestral sphere”
The CD “Journeys after…” is available from Amazon and other online retailers, and as a download from iTunes.
