Since the success of the first volume in 2015 OpenSax has spoken for instrumentalists across the world who identify with an unbounded literature for saxophone that’s firmly in touch with today’s musical world. Claude Georgel who directs the Vent de Sax collection at the Editions Leduc here presents a sequel to this great adventure that widens its scope: while the 1 st volume was aimed essentially at beginner saxophonists the second targets more confirmed players (5 or 6 years of practice). Nine composers of varying backgrounds (Japan Spain Italy Germany and France) several of whom are from the young generation allowplayers to explore the saxophone’s wide palette of instrumental colours without forgetting what’s essential: the pure joy of playing. Tom Georgel Giulia Lorusso Alexandros Markeas Clara Olivares Sirah Mart nez Alvarez Pierre Bertrand-Cagnes Ryo Noda Luise Volkmann and Fuminori Tanada sign the pieces in this anthology that will delight anyone who has lost their heart to this instrument of freedom.
