greggery peccary Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 (edited) I've had this for years but haven't listened for about as long. I'm not vouching for it, but it would seem to fit the bill of the discussion.

Chicago Expat Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Benjamin Koppel. He plays more jazz than classical, but he does have classical work. I think his father is composer Herman Koppel. Koppel is a member of the ensemble that recorded "Adventures of a Polar Expedition", which may have been my favorite album of 2010.

golfcrazy1984 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I would strongly suggest checking out Kenneth Tse, gorgeous tone. He was a student of Eugene Rousseau, Richtmeyer and now teaches at The University of Iowa. Quartet music is out there as well, such as the Prizm quartet or the Miami Saxophone quartet.

7/4 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 I'm no expert on classical music, but this is a nice album. How is this compared to other music by Moondog? I bought this last week, still trying to decide if I'm excited or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiRiIII Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Also this one: GEORGES APERGHIS Crosswind Geneviève Strosser viola XASAX Marcus Weiss tenor saxophone Pierre-Stephane Meugés soprano saxophone Includes booklet with text by Patrick Hahn 0012942KAI - 2009 tracklisting: (01) Crosswind for viola and four saxophones (1997) 12:51 (02) Alter ego for saxophone (2001) 7:53 (03) Rasch version for viola and saxohone (2006) 6:07 (04) Volte-face for viola (1997) 8:52 (05) Signaux version for 12 saxophones (1978) 13:17 TT: 49:25 He would not have been the first well-known composer for musical theatre who neglected the less “spectacular” varieties of music. But unlike the “symphonic form”, which Georges Aperghis has been rarely considered ever since his initial attempt in 1972, chamber music recurs throughout his œuvre. As though staging a theatrical work, Aperghis plays his game in a chamber-music hall with ever-new instrumental combinations, at the same time creating a connection between them and European musical tradition. He is always seeking voices. “It is similar to seeing the image of someone in a photo and wondering how their voice sounds. Is it nasal, is it high, is it low? Were they breathing heavily or easily? An instrument always remains the same. But the real question is: how does the voice of this instruments sound in this piece?” (Georges Aperghis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.D. Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 That looks promising! I've always liked Aperghis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTMX Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Forgive me if it has already been mentioned but Anders Koppel's Concerto for Saxophone 1 & 2 do a great job of combining modern classical with jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'm enjoying JS Bach/Sax Allemande - Goldberg Variations (transcription for sax qt) on the road this morning, it'll get another spin when I hit the road to go home later (soon).

If you have to decide if you are excited u ain't. Yeah. Exactly. I couldn't tell you how it compares. He always seemed like an interesting character to me, but I don't know that much about his music. I liked this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandrill Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The one below is recommended. The program is half Faure, half various baroque composers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat5 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Spend a little time here. http://www.hollywoodsaxophonequartet.com/ Two classical albums and two jazz albums. Fine music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Still trying to figure out what "half Faure" sounds like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ayers Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Have I not already mentioned that the most substantial, most-played, and most-referenced work for saxophone (and jazz drums) and orchestra by a name composer of recent decades is Birtwistle's Panic? Scandalously premiered at the Proms by John Harle and Paul Clarvis. Investigate! There is a bargainous CD (also on Spotify) of this work with Earth Dances (essential, core Birtwistle) and Triumph of Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
