J Bach .S. / Mendelssohn / Kebyart- Traum Der Jugend (CD)
With this album, fittingly entitled Traum der Jugend, the young musicians of Kebyart see a longstanding dream come true. Drawn by it's eagerness to reveal new soundworlds, the saxophone quartet has interwoven works from different epochs and given them a new, unconventional guise through it's own arrangements. Taking Jörg Widmann's 7 Capricci as a starting point - a work specially written for the quartet which sparked the idea of this recording - Kebyart draws a myriad of musical connections that journey from Felix Mendelssohn, one of Widmann's favourite composers, to Johann Sebastian Bach, himself a source of inspiration to Mendelssohn. The programme culminates with a tribute to Fanny Mendelssohn, whose skilful compositions played a key role in developing the musical personality of her brother Felix.

- 7 Capricci~Keys
- Four Pieces for String Quartet, Op. 81~No.
