The saxophone quartet repetoire has been constantly enriched over the past half-century, because this combination of four instruments belonging to the same family covers a wide range, from the highest to the lowest note obtainable, thus making it comparable to a string quartet. The ensemble also possesses a rich variety of timbres and playing techniques. Add to that the presence of some very fine ensembles such as the Habanera Quartet, who are always keen to enspire new works and it is easy to understand why composers have taken an interest in the genre. As 19th Century composers explored the possibilities of the piano, those of the second half of the 20th Century have investigated the qualities of the saxophone. Beautifully packaged with 26 page booklet with extensive notes in French and English.
