Saxophone Classics Artistic Director Sarah Markham presents her debut CD for the label. This collection of largely programmatic music for saxophone spans musical eras, genres, and countries. The saxophone and piano are required to dance, serenade, mourn, depict fluffy clouds on a summer day, beautiful countryside and birds, as well as “run, sing, fly”.
The saxophone depicts a bird running, singing, and flying in Takashi Yoshimatsu’s Fuzzy Bird Sonata.
Paule Maurice’s music gives us her insight to the countryside of the Provence region of France.
We hear the distinctive flavours of Spain, Russia, France, Hungary, and Paris in Pierre Max Dubois’s suite of characteristic pieces.
Cirrus clouds and the Eurostar train feature in James Rae’s new Sonata - with this its world premiere recording.
Richard Rodney Bennett’s Three Piece Suite cannot fail to charm with its lighthearted fun depiction of a melancholic samba, homage to Scott Joplin, and funk inspired fugal finale.
“Sarah Markham...was formidably impressive... a sustained feat of exuberance... breathed an extraordinary, haunted magic. The most mesmerising thing I’ve heard all year!”
(Michael White, The Independent on Sunday)
“The saxophonist Sarah Markham... was formidable...left me wanting to hear more.”

Collection: Instrumental Subcollection: Piano June 2010 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Schumann. Schumann wrote his Woodland Scenes in just nine days, beginning on 29th December 1848. The cycle of nine short pieces offers typically schizophrenic and ephemeral visions, in which the distinction between fantasy and reality is blurred. This unique and beautifully crafted recording links these three composers by simple woodland themes.
Three of the best-loved works for piano focusing on woodland themes.
Robert Schumann (1810 - 1856)
Waldszenen, Op.82
Edward MacDowell (1860 - 1908)
Woodland Sketches, Op.51
Leos Janacek (1854 - 1928)
