Digital Booklet

|||||
This debut album from the award-winning Kenari Quartet explores the saxophone in all of its colours and sonorities, from Pierre Max Dubois’s lighthearted and jazz-inspired music and the lyrical and expressive world of Alfred Desenclos to Jean Françaix’s witty "bantering" and the excitement and energy which closes Florent Schmitt’s Quatour. Invented in Paris in 1846, the saxophone was readily embraced by French composers who championed the new instrument through numerous ensemble and solo compositions. That spirit is celebrated here by the Indiana-based group.
