Soprano Summit / Various - Soprano Summit / Various - Music CD

Ravello Records presents SOPRANO SUMMIT from revered saxophonist Paul Cohen. Alongside his work as a performer, Cohen is known for his passionate scholarship, rediscovering long-forgotten saxophone works as well as arranging related music for the instrument. In this, his latest contribution, Cohen presents an album of music for the soprano saxophone in chamber and solo settings. The range and diversity of the soprano saxophone is stunning, from Cohen's arrangement of Percy Grainger's Arrival Platform Humlet (solo soprano saxophone) to Amanda Harberg's first piece for saxophone, Feathers and Sax, (soprano saxophone and piano) and Jeff Scott's new work The Gift of Life (piccolo, soprano/alto saxophone and piano). SOPRANO SUMMIT is both a celebration of the soprano saxophone as a concert instrument and a revelation of new, lost, revived, and beloved works.
