Classical Concerto [CF:114-41458]

The concerto and recital repertoire for saxophone is centered around alto sax literature, making this 23-minute tenor concerto by Eric Ewazen a striking landmark. Commissioned by celebrated tenor saxophonist James Houlik, Ewazen’s Classical Concerto earns its title through the use of traditional musical forms, and neoclassical approaches to lyricism. The concerto is recorded by Houlik on the Albany label. Orchestral materials are available on rental.
