Info for De Profundis

Xelo Giner is one of the great exponents of contemporary saxophone music, and her programme binds together each piece in a logical progression that also reflects the turbulence and vicissitudes of the European avant-garde. Kurtág's miniatures, in arrangements by the composer, summon up the essence of his aesthetic ideology, while Stockhausen explores elements of antagonistic forces in In Freundschaft. Steen-Andersen's De Profundis demands extreme virtuosity, and Hèctor Parra's sonic alchemy in Chymisch shows how composers are extending the instrument's technical compass.
