Description:
This new recording by Australasian saxophonist Amy Dickson, with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, features concerto works for saxophone by three leading contemporary Australian composers, Brett Dean, Ross Edwards, and Peter Sculthorpe. All of these works are for saxophone by Amy Dixon. All of these works were also written for Amy Dixon. Sculthorpe's "Island Songs" is based on a folk song from northern Australie and consists of two movements: "Songs of Home," a song about the indigenous people, the island of their ancestors' birth, and love, and the lyrical "Lament and Longing," which includes the tragedy of climate change and the hope for a more stable world. Dean's "Siduri Dance," inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh, evokes the songs and dances of the island.Edwards' "Full Moon Dance" mimics the chirping of birds gathered on a full moon night, indigenous songs and instruments, creating a kaleidoscope of sound. The album is a stunning example of the music of Amy's native Australia. Amy Dixon began playing the saxophone at the age of 7, making her debut at 16, performing with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra at 17, and studying in London and Amsterdam from the age of 18, winning various competitions. She is currently active as a soloist mainly in Europe. He is also enthusiastic about expanding the saxophone repertoire, including the premiere and recording of Philip Glass's Violin Concerto arranged for saxophone. His works cover not only classical masterpieces, but also contemporary music and popular works such as those on this album, as well as standard works for saxophonists, and have been highly acclaimed around the world, winning the "Classic Brit Award.Also released in 2014, A Summer Place, a collection of classic jazz standards, was nominated for a Grammy Award at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.
