Eva Van Grinsven, H Basilova, M Milstein, L Niederstrasse - Prokofiev, Rachmaninov, Shostakovich: Transcriptions For Sax

Eva van Grinsven's Saxofolk debut album with the Berlage Saxophone Quartet was a spectacular success. On Rendez-vous russe her saxophone and its marvelously versatile tone blend with the instruments of her chamber music partners, and the fine articulation so incredibly similar to the human voice produces a unique impact.Two saxophones join forces for a contemporary encore. The reminiscences of Russian Orthodox sacred song create a striking effect in Sofia Gubaidulina's Duo Sonata. The fact that Lars Niederstra�er, another Berlage instrumentalist, isinvolved produces an especially harmonious combination of these two instruments and perfectly renders the sacred illusion on this finely balanced, three-dimensional Super Audio CD.
