[Villa Lobos] ‘incorporates nationalistic musical elements of Brazil along with melodic, lullaby-like themes, to make a truly contrasting and interesting three-movement work.’ (Classic FM) ‘Brazilian sonorities and rhythms are a perfect match for the saxophone’ (WFMT) [Glazunov] ‘persistence paid off for Rascher, who badgered Glazunov to write him a concerto. The Russian relented and the result – three short, pleasingly lyrical movements – was premiered by Rascher’ (BBC Music Magazine) ‘Glaznov’s Quartet is a foundational piece for the instrument’ (WFMT)
