Xelo Giner - De Profundis: Kurt�g, Stockhausen, Parra, Steen-Andersen, Perales, Berbis

Xelo Giner is one of the great exponents of contemporary saxophone music, and her programme binds together each piece in a logical progression that also reflects the turbulence and vicissitudes of the European avant-garde. Kurt�g�s miniatures, in arrangements by the composer, summon up the essence of his aesthetic ideology, while Stockhausen explores elements of antagonistic forces in In Freundschaft. Steen-Andersen�s De Profundis demands extreme virtuosity, and H�ctor Parra�s sonic alchemy in Chymisch shows how composers are extending the instrument�s technical compass.
