Aurelia Saxophone Quartet

The Aurelia Saxophone Quartet, founded in 1982 in the Netherlands, has distinguished itself as one of the leading saxophone quartets in the classical music scene. Celebrated for their versatile musicianship and appealing performance style, the ensemble is composed of four virtuosic saxophonists who are deeply committed to the classical saxophone repertoire and the expansion of its boundaries. Over the years, the quartet has gained international acclaim for their innovative interpretations and willingness to explore a wide range of music genres, from Baroque transcriptions to contemporary compositions.

Their impeccable technique and engaging performances are showcased in their discography, which encompasses a broad array of styles and eras. For instance, "French Saxophones" and "French Saxophones - 25 Years Jubilee" pay homage to the rich tradition of French saxophone music, featuring compositions by French masters that have significantly contributed to the instrument's repertoire. Delving into the emotional depths of Eastern European music, "Four Generations of Russian Composers" presents works from Russia's most notable composers, reflecting the cultural and historical richness of the region. With "Piazzolla: Tango Nuevo," the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet embraces the rhythmic complexities of Argentine tango, bringing out the spirited essence of Astor Piazzolla's compositions. Their commitment to exploring diverse musical landscapes is further exemplified by releases like "Tangón" and "Two to Tango," which blend the passion of tango with the quartet's sophisticated classical phrasing. The ensemble's dedication to musical excellence and collaborative creativity ensures that each performance and recording offers a fresh and compelling experience that resonates with audiences around the world.
