About

For its second album on Chandos, the young Ferio Saxophone Quartet presents a set of unique arrangements of milestones from the baroque repertoire, from Corelli via Bach to Handel. Including many premiere recordings, these fresh interpretations, full of flair and vitality, played on instruments that combine elements of brass and woodwind, bring the tunes and counterpoint to a fascinating new register. The Ferio Quartet plays with power, warmth, and dexterity.

4 out of 5 stars

December 2018

At the risk of heresy, there are instances where the music gains from being played by saxes: the outer movements of Bach’s Third Brandenburg Concerto, for example, definitely gain in contrapuntal clarity and colour…These players also have a remarkable way of generating an atmosphere through tone-colour.
