MAROS, MIKLOS - S/T (CD)

"Miklos Maros is never a man for glibness. He has a gripping tonal language all of his own. Many of his compositions were written expressly for certain musicians, with their particular style of playing in mind. The Saxophone Concerto in this recording, for example, is dedicated to the masterly John-Edward Kelly, who in playful earnest elevates the music to staggering heights, both literally and metaphorically speaking."
