Alban Gerhardt Alliage Quintett - Phantasy in Blue: Music for Cello and Saxophone Quintet [CD]

Playful yet serious, imaginative yet true to the spirit of the originals - Alban Gerhardt and the inimitable Alliage Quintett offer a wholly new perspective on a variety of favourites drawn from the cello's established repertoire and beyond.

Critial Acclaim:

"The pièce de la résistance is Malzew's arrangement of Gershwin's Rhapsody – now Phantasy¬ – in Blue, an inspired instrumental synthesis: raucous, sassy, percussive and truly in the spirit of the jazz age. The cello steals the clarinet's opening solo and gradually invades the piano's position. It works. Malzew hits the jackpot with a chamber version of a classic score to knock out a summer festival audience." – BBC Music Magazine (Recording 5 STARS, Performance 4 STARS)
