Wildy Zumwalt: Konzert für Alt-Saxophon und Orchester: I

This is the Edmund von Borck Konzert für Alt-Saxophon und Orchester: I. Lento-Allegro vivo. The piece was written in 1932 for legendary saxophonist Sigurd Raschèr.
This performance is from the Sigurd Raschèr Centennial Celebration held at SUNY Fredonia. In a whole weekend of concerts featuring works written for Raschèr, this specific concert featured four concertos performed by four different saxophonists. It took place in Rosch Recital Hall on 10 November 2007.

The performers are as follows:
Wildy Zumwalt, alto saxophone
Western New York Chamber Orchestra
Steven Jarvi, conductor

Videos of the subsequent two movements are also online.

Melissa, hai fatto davvero bene... Wildy è semplicemente un artista... E, poi, io gli sono molto affezionata. Un abbraccio, Giulia.
