5.0 out of 5 stars
baritone saxophone's, February 1, 2009
This review is from: Bach: Die Kunst der Fuge [Hybrid SACD] (Audio CD)
The late jazz great Paul Desmond likened his alto saxophone sound to a dry martini. As I savored the New Century Saxophone Quartet's subtle timbre mixtures and easily undulating tempo choices throughout The Art of Fugue, I duly passed out the cocktail glasses! Reed pops and clicks hold no place in the smooth ensemble blend, while note attacks and dynamics seemingly emerge from stringed instruments caressed with bows of different shapes and sizes.
Good as this disc sounds in the standard two-channel configuration, SACD 5.0 Multi-channel offers greater spatial perspective between the four players. In all, this release gives total joy from start to finish.
