The saxophone: if Bach had known this instrument, he would surely have composed for it. When arranged for the saxophone, it is not only his chorales and fugues that stand up well, keyboard and chamber music also lend themselves to the experiment. For example, the four young saxophonists of Signum, whose career is really taking off, present a true evergreen, Bach’s Italian Concerto. Taking ‘theme and variations’ as a motto, they are also playing two present-day works: chorale-based sections from Maslanka’s suite Recitation Book, and the minimalist Steve Reich’s ode to the clamorous Manhattan.
