The concert in the Albrecht House will be performed by two legends of classical saxophone - Ryo Noda (Japan) and Philippe Portejoie (France) accompanied by Ladislav Fančovič.
This concert presents the saxophone as a full-fledged instrument of classical music, as it is mainly perceived as a jazz instrument in Slovakia. However, its inventor Aldolphe Sax made it ca. in 1843, he constructed the saxophone for the purposes of classical music and marching bands (jazz was born 50 years later).
Composers were captivated by its sound in the early years, and the artists will perform works for solo saxophone accompanied by piano, saxophone duo and trio, as well as arrangements of compositions from the Baroque period, through Impressionism, Romanticism and contemporary compositions using the enormous variety of colours and percussive sounds that can be conjured up on the saxophone.
