SAX MUSIC
MARCO FALASCHI, BERLIOZ QUARTET, etc.

Thomas Fortmann is a composer with a rich and varied set of styles and inspirations, ranging from jazz, rock (he was a rock musician for many years), German cabaret and theatre-music, to serialism and modernist techniques. This creates a unique soundworld of likeable, fascinating music, often with a distinct sense of humour. These first recordings of music for saxophone (and saxophone quartet) demolish boundaries and are played by some of Europe's foremost sax players.

review extracts: for full reviews click here
“This album gathers together for the first time all of Fortmann’s works composed for the saxophone... [they] show Fortmann’s development as a key composer for the instrument. The outstanding performers include Marco Falaschi and the Berlioz Saxophone Quartet.” - John Pitt (New Classics)
“a fine sax tour de force - a composer who … deserves a wider audience. A real treat for the open eared.” – Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
