Although Bruce Broughton is best known for his many film and television scores, over the past five decades he has composed scores for a diverse array of projects from film and TV to concert music and even theme parks. His work has been recognised with an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score for the film Silverado (1985) and a record ten Emmy Awards for his musical compositions in television. This album presents two of his concert works: String Theory for string orchestra, and his oboe concerto And on the Sixth Day performed by Olivier Stankiewicz, principal oboe of the London Symphony Orchestra.

Olivier Stankiewicz has been principal oboe of the London Symphony Orchestra since 2015. Sought after as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher, he has performed widely in Europe, Japan and the US. He has performed concertos with conductors François-Xavier Roth, Paavo Järvi and Tugan Sokhiev, and takes a particular interest in premiering newly written pieces.
