LIEBER VIEL SAXOPHON (Lots of saxophones!)

“What could possibly be finer than a saxophone? Lots of saxophones!” That’s what Gerald Preinfalk thinks. And that’s why, many years ago, he founded the 12-piece saxophone orchestra “KUG-SAX-SIPPIA”. He wanted to convey the sheer range of the instrument. As he put it: “There is something special about a group of saxophones played in the classical style. They can produce a sound like a church organ, but they can also sound like a jazz big band.” With this in mind, Preinfalk has arranged that masterpiece of symphonic jazz, George Gershwin’s rousing “Concerto in F”, for his “KUG-SAX-SIPPIA” ensemble with pianist Andreas Woyke.  Afterwards he uses his own compositions to demonstrate just what twelve saxophones can do.
