  • Description

    The two-disc album Le Clavecin Moderne plus Saxophone features latest pieces for harpsichord and saxophone. It continues the cycle initiated in 2021 with the album Le Clavecin Moderne plus Percussion, presenting unconventional instrumental combinations with the harpsichord.

    Most of the compositions are world premiere recordings and are dedicated to the musicians - the originator of the cycle Alina Ratkowska (harpsichord) and Pawel Gusnar (saxophone) - whose artistic quality, extraordinary personalities and distinctive interpretations put them among the best instrumentalists of their specialties.

    Except the Luka Sonata for alto saxophone and harpsichord and the third instalment of Bartosz Kowalski's Streamsfor harpsichord, soprano and alto saxophones and electronics, the remaining works were created for soprano saxophone and harpsichord. The selected repertoire confirms the perfect sonic correlation of these seemingly distant instruments. It is also a record of the joy of friends making music together, proving their excellence in conducting the musical narrative, which is an additional advantage of the presented album.
