Music for Saxophone and Orchestra

The saxophone is also a major player in classical music. Despite its short history as an instrument, the saxophone made numerous appearances in the prolific 20th-century music scene. This single album showcases the instrument's diverse and magnificent achievements. Glazunov's Concerto embodies a seemingly unlikely combination of Russian flavor and saxophone, creating a truly beautiful piece. The instrument's unique, sweet sound is truly beautiful! The saxophone is also closely associated with jazz and other popular music, and the works by Milhaud, Ibert, and Villa-Lobos that skillfully blend these elements with French sophistication are a delight to listen to! Recorded: May 2002, All Saints Church, London
