Blue Aurora Saxophone Quartet

Description:

The world of Bach goes beyond Bach from classical to improvisation! A fusion of Bach and saxophone! The Blue Aurora Saxophone Quartet, which astonished the saxophone world last year, has made its debut. The "Blue Aurora Saxophone Quartet" led by Kimitaka Hirano. Their debut album, which was released along with their debut concert, quickly made their name known for its superb performance and perfection of classic pieces such as Glazunov. The group chose "J.S. Bach" as the theme for their second album. J.S. Bach" is a composer that Kimitaka Hirano has also been placing great importance on as a soloist. The extraordinary range of expressiveness of this group is overwhelmingly deployed. Their technique is overwhelming in the "Toccata and Fugue" with a classical approach, and in the "Golte Berg" and "O Lord, Joy of Man's Desiring," the colors of the harmony are endless with improvisation woven in. The "Aria on the G string" with four saxophones is superbly beautiful. The "Prelude," which has already become a standard encore piece, is full of excitement. The sound of the saxophones and Bach creates an unparalleled expanse. This is a Bach experience that can only be had with this group.It will enthuse not only saxophone fans but also many others.
