Thomas Fortmann is a composer with a rich and varied set of styles and inspirations, ranging from jazz, rock (he was a rock musician for many years), German cabaret and theatre-music, to serialism and modernist techniques. This creates a unique soundworld of likeable, fascinating music, often with a distinct sense of humour. These first recordings of music for saxophone (and saxophone quartet) demolish boundaries and are played by some of Europe's foremost sax players.

“This album gathers together for the first time all of Fortmann’s works composed for the saxophone... [they] show Fortmann’s development as a key composer for the instrument. The outstanding performers include Marco Falaschi and the Berlioz Saxophone Quartet.” - John Pitt (New Classics)

“a fine sax tour de force - a composer who … deserves a wider audience. A real treat for the open eared.” - Chris Spector (MidWest Record)
