Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A great beginning quartet cd.......2001-05-15

This cd has a great and wonderful variety of quartets on it, and most importantly it has all the basic quartets in the saxophone quartet repertoire. Great for teachers to introduce quartets to college students or high school students. A fun cd to listen to as well.

5 out of 5 stars 100 Years of Saxophone Music.......2000-10-18

In celebrating the 100th anniversary of the saxophone, this CD brings together compositions by various composers featuring the saxophone. Not surprisingly, all of the composers were active in the 20th century, and some of them are still with us in the 21st.

Since the saxophone is more commonly used as a jazz instrument than it is as a symphonic one, its inclusion gives these performances a jazz quality that would not otherwise be present, and, as such, adds a certain modicum of excitement to this collection.
