The debut recording by virtuoso saxophonist Anthony Brown
includes seven world première recordings of brand new
commissioned works for the saxophone. Each work has its own
unique sound world, offering different, exciting new duo and solo
works. The performers and composers on this disc represent some of
the major influences that have impacted Anthony’s career to date,
including teachers, colleagues and friends.
These virtuosic works explore the range and characters that the 4
main saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone) have to offer.
The sound world of the contemporary saxophone is explored in great
depth, with influences ranging from jazz, film, poetry, electronic
music, and theatre. Each work was commissioned especially for this
project which has taken 5 years to complete.
