The Project
The project of the duo is on the one hand to make a detailed musical and historical research about the known and not wellknown original works for saxophone and organ and propose these in “chronologic-historical” concerts and also in conferences in order to present the brief history of this ensemble to a broader audience. On the other hand the duo present Italian famous oboe baroc concertos specially and wonderfully arranged for saxophone and organ.
Like the name of the project: a double aspect of the two instruments.
The repertoire
Starting from the neoclassical composers like Sauguet with his work Oraisons, passing through America with Pauls Creston, arriving to our days with Shih, Lee, Voirpy, Lauba and young famous composers who dedicated their works to the DUO like Hannes Kerschbaumer, Maurizio Azzan and Pier Damiano Peretti. An excursus which tries to valorise these works.
Moreover, the duo presents interesting transcriptions of the Concerto in do maggiore per oboe ed archi of Domenico Cimarosa, one of the most important composers of the baroque Naples school, the Concerto in do minore of Benedetto Marcello, the Concerto in fa maggiore of Corelli, Concerto in la minore of Vivaldi and many more.
