| Brant, Henry |
| Concerto for Alto Saxophone: Prelude, Idyll, Caprice. Henry Brant was inspired to write his Concerto in 1941 specifically for the virtuosity of Sigurd Raschèr, the incredible performer of the day. He incorporated Raschèr's techniques of slap-tongue, flutter-tongue, and extended altissimo, which made the Concerto virtually unplayable by any other saxophonist. After Raschèr's last performance of the work in 1953, it would be almost half a century before Brant would authorize another performance with orchestra in 2002, and the fortunate saxophonist was Dr. Noah Getz, another formidable talent. Getz worked closely with Brant in preparation for the performance, and continues to champion the work today. |
