Nederlands Saxofoon Octet - Canto Ostinato (2019)

Canto ostinato as you have never heard it before: performed by eight saxophonists. The Dutch Saxophone Octet plays the most popular work from the Netherlands and presents its new album.
The Dutch Saxophone Octet plays the wildly popular Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt. A carefully selected set of notes develops through 8 mouths, along 16 hands and 80 fingers. In an organic way rhythm and melody become more complex and again simple, noisier and again calm, emphatic and serene again. The musicians follow each other or take another initiative in a seemingly endless game. The Dutch Saxophone Octet made, with the approval of the Ten Holt heirs, a version of air and keys. This concert is also their CD presentation.
