Description:

Flawless playing technique, dynamic and warm Hugh Wiggin's saxophone. 4 out of 6 pieces commissioned for this ambitious work. The infinitely deep and beautiful Phibbs inspiring new compositions. Two stylish pieces by Farringdon, who took the world by storm at last year's BBC Proms. A Watson piece that Hugh called "a piece that challenged the limits of the saxophone. Coates, full of British flavor. Inspired by Debussy's "Rhapsody," this CD is the quintessence of the saxophone. --Hugh Wiggin, acclaimed by The Times for his "matured tone and perfect breathing technique," has steadily built a career since winning first prize at the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition in London in 2014, Today, he is one of the most sought-after saxophonists of his generation.
