2014 marks the bicentennial of the birth of Adolphe Sax, the genius who invented the saxophone. The release of this 2 CD set, a mix of French Romantic and American Jazz music, commemorates this event. As is Ricercar's custom, the CD's accompanying booklet includes extensive and informative liner notes. The Jazz selections were originally recorded in 1992 and 1999, the Romantic works in 2002.
