As with Bach’s The Art of Fugue performed by the Berlin Saxophone Quartet (9990582), this is an alternate interpretation of some early music, this time it’s the music of the Renaissance. Music by composers such as Palestrina, Dowland, Gabrielli, Frescobaldi, Desprez and many more have been arranged for four saxophones.
