5 out of 5 stars Stunning technique and breathtaking solos.......2000-01-19

A very moving and musical quartet. Their interpretation is top notch, and they play off of each other well, picking up the nuances where the previous player has left off. The Bryars is exceptional, with an amazing amount of control in multiphonics and other extended saxophone techniques, and it ends with an absoulutely breathtaking bari sax solo in a haunting Irish-sounding lament. A beautiful and well done cd, a must have for any sax quartet collection.

    Album Description

    Resonance: Chamber Works-Volume I is the first of a series by New Tertian Recordings dedicated to contemporary chamber music. Creating a very personal and intimate atmosphere for the avid music listener, Resonance: Chamber Works-Volume I embodies the essence of chamber music and provides needed variety to today's chamber recordings. Most chamber music CDs released today feature a specific ensemble, limiting the entire album to a particular instrumentation. Volume I, however, gives the listener an opportunity to hear music written for a variety of different instruments on a single release. In addition, the music was composed by four up and coming award-winning composers who understand the importance of writing sophisticated and expressive classical art music that is effortless to comprehend by today's music lovers.
