These Visions

 
Lunar Saxophone Quartet

 




“I tend to be cautious with 'classical' saxophones; they can be strident and assertive, especially in small-venue recitals, but here the sound is home-friendly, mainly discreet and mellow … Signum's production is strikingly good; properly informative and interesting notes, with graphic design and photography unified.”

“Tann’s Some Of The Silence is inspired by a haiku … and presents a world of calm and solitude.”

"This is lyrical ensemble playing at its very best"

Gramophone


Formed in 2002, the award winning Lunar Saxophone Quartet has developed a reputation for their commitment to composer/performer collaborations, leading to dozens of commissions from a variety of different composers. Performances have spanned a wide range of occasions, from Bryn Terfel's 'Faenol Festival' and the Welsh BBC Proms, to live broadcasts on BBC TV and Radio.

This new disc features a programme of newly commissioned works by some of Wales's youngest and most gifted composers together with those of more established figures.
