Saxophone (2002)

Het saxofoonconcert in kwartetversie, het triostuk "The Windcatcher' en 13 solostukken voor sax samengebracht. "We found a recording of 13 Melodies for Solo Saxophone when we were building the Philip Glass recording archive. As I listened to this wonderful recording of Andrew Sterman's performances, I was struck by the beautiful simplicity and purity of these compositions, they seemed to portray the very essence of much of Glass' music. I knew that this particular recording was made as 'incidental' music for Joanne Akalaitis' Theatrical production of Jean Genet's Prisoner Of Love in 1995, but upon further research I found that the Melodies were actually a sketch book for the Saxophone Concerto which was commissioned by the famous Raschèr Saxophone Quartet. Also, in the archives we have a 1998 studio recording of the Saxophone Concerto sans orchestra performed by the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet that is simply stunning. It was obvious that we should produce a "Saxophone" CD." (Glass' archivaris in het boekje)
