Simply Four Saxophones (2005)

Het Berlage Saxophone Quartet speelt op vrijdag 11 januari 2013 Ferenc Farkas' Oude Hongaarse Dansen (Antiche danze ungheresi del 17. secolo) in saxofoonbewerking, in het Muziekcentrum, Enschede. Op deze CD is een uitvoering van dat werk te vinden. "The performance of Jean Riviers Grave et Presto is the clear highlight of this recital. The Adelphis rendition of this is first-rate and gives the group its best opportunity to display interpretative skills. The other original work is the Petit quatuor pour saxophones by Jean Françaix which, although considered among the lightest of the authentic repertoire, is nevertheless a witty and amusing piece, and is given an equally spirited reading. The transcriptions, some of them by members of the group, are well done and make for enjoyable listening. (...) Overall intonation and ensemble are exemplary and the quartet has an admirable blend of sound." (Tim Payne, BBC Music Magazine; klik op link voor complete tekst)
