Saxophone Concertos

John Harle, saxophone
Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields/Neville Marriner
These two recent releases are not only both entitled Saxophone Concertos, but they have three pieces in common (as well as additional unique works). What can this mean? That a poltergeist of musical coincidence is lurking among us? That interest in classical saxophone works is growing? That the repertoire for classical saxophone works so is small and that they're so short, they can fit on one CD?
