BSX Records is proud to present The Bruce Rowland Collection: Volume 1. Australian composer Bruce Rowland's music is noted for it's expansive orchestral melodies and use of solo piano as a primary instrument in the orchestra. Rowland is a self-taught musician who spent many years as a songwriter and creator of commercial jingles before the opportunity arose to score films. His first film score, for 1982's The Man From Snowy River, was a huge success and Rowland quickly became one of his country's most celebrated film composers. The music on this collection comes from recently recorded tracks arranged and conducted by the composer, who also played the piano solos.
