Saxophonist Dan Goble and pianist Russell Hirshfield join forces on Second Flight to deliver virtuosic performances of works by a variety of today’s leading composers, several of them winners of GRAMMY® awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and more.
In the title track, Goble reimagines Joan Tower’s clarinet piece on the saxophone, echoing the grandeur of flight and the vastness of the human spirit. Jennifer Higdon’s dynamic Yes, No, Maybe? captivates with its intricate melodies and compelling rhythms, a testament to her mastery of contemporary composition. James David’s Pradakshina: Sonata for Alto Saxophone and Piano takes inspiration from the Buddhist architecture of Colorado’s Great Stupa, finding connection between the seemingly disparate composition and improvisation.
Three-time Academy Award winner Philip Glass and Pulitzer Prize for Music laureate John Adams contribute pieces that resonate with depth and humanity, while critically-acclaimed composer David Biedenbender’s Images offers a glimpse into the ethereal realms of dreams and imagination.
Produced by multiple GRAMMY®-winner Judith Sherman, Second Flight unites today’s foremost compositional figures with the inimitable talents of Goble and Hirshfield, who celebrate 20 years of collaboration in the arts with this release.
