More information
The famous Bolero by Maurice Ravel has been arranged by Nicolas Herrouët for great saxophone ensemble and solo saxophone quartet. We recorded this on our last CD, called “Bolero”. Genuin classics label released it in the early 2014. A playback version has been edited from this recording, so that we can perform it live. The soundtrack plays the great saxophone ensemble part while we play the solo sax quartet part.
We’d like here to share the performing of the solo quartet part with soloists and students that will be here for the congress (C. Delangle, V. David, J-D. Michat, N. Prost, O. Murphy, J. Rautiola, P. Portejoie, A. Bornkamp, Habanera Quartet, Morphing Quartet, Zzyzx Quartet, CNSMDP and other conservatories and universities students,…).
The audience will enjoy different interpretations and sounds given by the different artists.
