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.

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.

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.

This CD is absolutely amazing! I would recomend it to anyone. The performers do a great job, and I hope the produce another CD soon!

Oh, this music sounds really great. I am playing the album over and over. My only problem is I downloaded it without knowing much about the group, let alone this album. ("Why?", you ask--I don't know.) And now I would like to learn more about Adelphi Saxophone Quartet but cannot find much listed about them on the world wide web. So if you know of a site where I can get a little information, please post it in the comment section. OK?

I was absolutely blown away by the musicality of the performers and how the intonation of the ensemble was perfect! Also, the pieces are very technically difficult, but played with absolute precision. I would recommend this CD to every sax lover!

I purchased this CD and was very disappointed in the quality of the playing. The four musicians play with an almost unbearably bright tone color and their technique together is not as clean as some other groups. Don't waste your time here - pick up a recording the Rascher Quartet or Paul Cohen's quartet instead.

I just got this cd in the mail and it is truly awe-some. I am in awe. Such talent and such beautiful music! Great combination. This is a "must have" for sax players.

I bought this cd for the Piazzolla piece, and was dissappointed that the performers merely played what was on the page, and did nothing more to "feel" the music or make it exceptional in any way. The rest of the pieces are similarly dry.
