What does a saxophone player who is neither interested in big band music nor in jazz do when he wants to play and record exciting music for his instrument? He commissions good composers to write pieces for him and his instrument. In between this album’s musical pieces are actress recitations of short prose pieces by two persecuted European Jewish writers, Joseph Roth and Rajzel Zychlinski. Christian Segmehl is one of today’s most promising classical saxophonists. He has played with renowned orchestras the world over, and is devoted to playing chamber music in all its variety.
