Album Notes
The saxophone is music's black sheep, as it came along too late to be part of the "in" crowd of orchestral instruments. One result of this is a lack of repertoire--it has fallen to 20th-century composers to write for the instrument and assist it in drawing an audience--which has given the saxophone the reputation of having mainly transcriptions and arrangements to play, and it still doesn't fit in. A happier result, however, is that as an "outsider" the saxophone doesn't have to take itself quite so seriously as, say, the violin. And although the Adelphi Saxophone Quartet plays mostly serious music here, they are clearly having fun at it.
Only two of the works on this disc were written for saxophones; the rest are arrangements and transcriptions. The arrangements, many by members of the ensemble, are artful and attractive and cast the music in interesting new lights. EMI's budget-priced Debut series offers young artists on the brink of major careers the opportunity to record in the label's studios in London. The performers and repertoire cover a wide range of familiar and new; here the two are combined for an entirely enjoyable disc.
