- The saxophone’s characteristic sound is subtle,
noble, clear, expressive and versatile, ranging from sensitive to aggressive! This
versatility is further enhanced by its great dynamic bandwidth.
The two saxophones on this volume were recorded with their solo as well as their
orchestral properties in mind, so that they can be used universally: from orchestral to
jazz productions, from Henry Mancini’s "Pink Panther" theme or Leonard
Bernstein’s "West Side Story" to Bizet’s "Arlesienne Suite".
For the first time ever, the sampled saxophone sounds absolutely authentic thanks to
Vienna's unique Performance Tool!
