About

Debut recording by virtuoso saxophonist Anthony Brown including seven world-première recordings of brand-new commissioned works for the saxophone. Each work has its own unique sound world, offering different, exciting new duo and solo works. The performers and composers on this disc represent some of the major influences that have impacted Anthony’s career to date, including teachers, colleagues and friends.

These virtuosic works explore the range and characters that the four main saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor and baritone) have to offer. The sound world of the contemporary saxophone is explored in great depth, with influences ranging from jazz, film, poetry, electronic music, and theatre. Each work was commissioned especially for this project and has taken five years to complete.

The disc was recorded between November 2021 and January 2022 at Halle St Michael’s, Ancoats, by Joe Riser.
