CD Reviews

Sensational!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a most wonderful example of contemporary saxohpone concerto music. Many people struggle to imagine a non-jazz saxohpone sound. This CD demonstrates exactly that, quite beautifully! I've played this for several skilled trained musicians. While the initial sounds of the soprano saxophone are often unfamiliar even for musicians, it evokes curiosity and intrigue. The style is contemporary and at the same time, the melodies are contagious."
