For anyone who loves the sound of the saxophone played the way it was intended by it's inventor...this is the recording for you. Everything about this recording is enjoyable...the selection of songs, the performance, the recording quality. I highly recommend this recording to anyone who loves the awsome beauty of the saxophone quartet.

4.0 out of 5 stars How Adolphe envisaged the sound?, June 27, 2003

This review is from: DEBUT ~ Adelphi Saxophone Quartet ~ "Simply Four Saxophones (Audio CD)

This CD is well worth getting for the quality of the sound. I've never heard such a pure tone from the saxophone before and the four players here blend so perfectly that you are not actualy aware that it is saxophones playing. Listen to the Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Marvellous! even though I can't help imagining Clarinets, Oboes and Basoons.
For anyone (like myself) who plays saxophone, this one is a must have as a reference CD on quality Classical Sax playing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent debut, July 28, 2000

This is an excellent debut from this quartet. The playing is assured and very technically able, and it seems that great consideration has gone into a programme that will appeal to a wide audience. I eagerly await further recordings and hope that they will tackle a slightly more demanding programme, as they certainly could cope with it. Also an excellent sound from the EMI producers.
