Description:

Flawless playing technique, dynamic and warm Hugh Wiggin's saxophone. 4 out of 6 pieces commissioned for this ambitious work. The infinitely deep and beautiful Phibbs inspiring new compositions. Two stylish pieces by Farringdon, who took the world by storm at last year's BBC Proms. A Watson piece that Hugh called "a piece that challenged the limits of the saxophone. Coates, full of British flavor.
