Quintett Album Vol. 05

Avec ce 3e volume de Adolphe Sax album, l'interprète va explorer des répertoires méconnus pour (ou avec) saxophone couvrant une période plus vaste, des origines (1845) à l'avant seconde guerre mondiale (1940). Le saxophoniste plonge ainsi au coeur de différentes esthétiques musicales, toujours liées à son contexte historique et politique./ Recueil / Saxophone

Animations is a collection of pieces focusing on lively rhythms and sparkling articulate music – not all of it at faster tempos. There are goblins and grasshoppers gypsies and witches; Grieg and Goldschmidt co-exist with Horne and Hummel; there is entertaining and sometimes unfamiliar music by Scarlatti Schumann and Chopin. There is dance music a plenty as you would expect in an album devoted to movement and as well as a waltz and a mazurka there is a gigue by Reger and a galop by Casella. Piano Moods is an exciting new Piano series from Boosey & Hawkes. Each volume is devoted to a particular mood. The pieces chosen draw on Boosey& Hawkes' extensive collection of wonderful music as well as lesser-known gems from the past - some of them from surprising sources - and newly composed works.
