Ebonit Saxophone Quartet - Arabesque (2018)

With their 2nd album Arabesque, the Dutch Ebonit Saxophone Quartet explores the music of Debussy, Saint-Saëns and Jana´c?ek. This ambitious and internationally successful saxophone quartet succeeds in achieving a true unity in tone together with a dynamic versatility that easily compares with a modern concert grand, on instruments that are still quite unappreciated in classical music! Their own arrangements of more known piano works of Debussy, like Deux Arabesques and Rêverie along with less heard pieces like Symphony in B minor and Jana´c?ek's Haunting In the Mists thus all sound unaffected and lively. Even Danse Macabre, the popular symphonic poem Saint-Saëns completed in 1874, is revived by the flexible and energetic sound of these four young top musicians.
