Description
The spirit of the saxophone wholly permeates these recorded works from Glazunov, Debussy, Ibert, Milhaud und Villa-Lobos. The idiom of jazz is wonderfully represented through the multi-faceted sounds of south American dance rhythms and bewitching Dionysian and Apollonian tunes.
The saxophone player Mario Marzi raises beautiful worlds of sound from this instrument. For more than twenty years he has been working with the „Teatro alla Scala“ and the „Filarmonica della Scala“ under the baton of such leading contemporary conductors as R. Muti, C.M. Giulini, L. Berio and W. Sawallisch. Mario Marzi recorded the works on hand beautifully together with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano G. Verdi under the leadership of Hansjörg Schellenberger.
Look forward to an outstanding interpretation of works for saxophone and orchestra that also enchant through the very special sound of 5+1 multichannel on the SACD layer.

"The Italian band, always alluring, bring a ray of Mediterranean sunshine to the proceedings as well. But it’s the soloist who takes the palm, with superb articulation and purity of tone. Whether it’s leaps or trills, high or low, Marzi sails through this music with ease. It’s very impressive, both as a performance and as a recording."
"Performance, sound and presentation all speak of high production values. A feast for all sax fans. "
Classcial Net (23.03.2010)
Mario Manzi ozzes out some beautiful worlds of sound, and although Schellenberger keeps a measured hold on proceedings, he always allows the soloist to display his virtuosic abilities to the full. Outstanding notes and the superb 5.1 multichannel sound are also high points of this marvelous SACD.
Audiophile Audition (23.03.2010)
This is an excellent collection of works for classical saxophone and symphony orchestra, superbly performed and recorded with state of the art hi-res surround. Mario Marzi teaches saxophone at the Verdi Conservatory in Milan and is one of the world’s leading classical saxophone virtuosos. The Glazunov sax concerto opening the program was only composed in 1934 and has been much recorded, but this is one its best performances and the remainder of the program is well-chosen and played.
Turok's Choice (01.10.2009)
"Saxophonist Mario Marzi has put together a disc of terrific music for saxophone and orchestra (...) Fine performance and superb sound, with Hansjörg Schellenberger leading the Giuseppe Verdi Orchestra of Milan"
