Paul Roe is one of Ireland¡'s most creative and versatile musicians. For many years he was Associate Principal Clarinet of the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland and, since leaving the orchestra, he has concentrated on solo and chamber projects. He has been a member of Concorde Contemporary Music Ensemble since 1989 and is a keen advocate for the composition and performance of contemporary music.

This recording is a fine example of his musical interest and features works by the renowned modern composer Osvaldo Golijov, who has had his work released by numerous labels, including DG, Nonesuch, Naxos and Sony, and two young Irish composers - Jane O'Leary and Nick Roth.
