“Coalescence”
Crystal Records CD783
Coalescence is defined as the joining of elements to form one whole. This disc is a representation of that merger. Along with this being our first recording together as a duo, the program itself is a coalescence of standard saxophone repertoire from the past and current works of today, a mixture of the old with the new. This blending is most musically evident in the works by Swerts and Michat, where the voices of Bach and Paganini are reimagined in a contemporary musical idiom.
