Arrangeur: Claude Georgel. 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 1st 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, allow players 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./ Recueil / Saxophone
