About this product
Adrian Tully presents himself to his audience on his own, and what the Australian saxophonist does with this venture is impressive he adapted solo works from across the centuries for his instrument. The result is a colorful and surprisingly varied album that could not have been more personal and surprises with it's depth of expression. The saxophone was not invented until the middle of the 19th century. For the older music, Tully therefore quite inevitably had to fall back on repertoire for other instruments. Whether Boismoitier, Stamitz or Quantz the versatility that Tully displays with his instrument here quickly makes one forget the original sound of oboe, flute or violin. In addition, there is an unparalleled art of phrasing that reveals a deep understanding of older music. The change from soprano to alto saxophone does the rest to let the works of Vieuxtemps and Reger shine in the most beautiful light. Tully's reputation as an instrumentalist and chamber musician did not make the three still living composers of this unusual recital hesitate for a moment to agree to an arrangement of their works. And so the pieces by Kazuo Fukushima, Kalevi Aho and Thierry Escaich round off a program that is hard to beat for esprit. The recording technique, finely tuned to the historic concert hall, does the rest to create an all-round fascinating sound experience in the literal sense of the word.

![Clarence B Thunborg - Reflections - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/32e1ec72-4981-4e2c-a3ac-90da075657e2.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
With his musical roots deep in Americana as well as in the bluesy surroundings of roots rock, Clarence B Thunborg takes an approach in the album InchReflectionsInch, released via Melodic Passion Records in collaboration with Sound Pollution Distribution. Clarence B Thunborg has been a bass player and singer in various bands since the late 1970s, but is now focusing on a solo career based out of his home in California. From there, his RV will take him out on tour along the American coast and inland, with a repertoire that comes predominantly from the new record InchReflectionsInch. Alone or with local musicians, his bluesy rock is slated to find a home in rock clubs along the American West Coast. But with a past in the Stockholm region, it also means some commuting to Sweden, where InchReflectionsInch recorded. It was also in the home country that contact was made with the Swedish record company Melodic Passion Records, run by Christian Liljegren (Narnia, Flames of Fire, etc.).One can discern certain musical features in the same spirit as greats such as Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams, Rick Springfield, Peter Gabriel and even the Rolling Stones, so it is not for nothing that these predecessors have been mentioned when someone has described Thunborg's music. In any case, it's about well-produced roots rock with Americana influences and lyrics that hover over the borderland between love and heartbreak.

The young pianist Yukeong Ji has already had an impressive career. However, despite all the prizes and hymns of praise from the critics, she does not lose her footing. Her debut album, featuring extremely rare repertoire by Uzong Choe, Toru Takemitsu, Bertold Hummel, Maurice Ravel and Olivier Messiaen, proves this. We experience fascinating reflections in this music, which sheds new light on other works of music or traces non-musical contents. Yukeong Ji plays crystal clear and with broad phrases. She breathes life into sophisticated literature and captivates the listener. Exceptional! InchJi becomes a poet, letting the melody sing and shaping the sound into the very finest of pianissimos.Inch (Virginie Borgeaud from the InchJeane CritiqueInch) InchThe audience could experience the essence of the music in the wake of her emotional style.Inch (Martin Winrich Becker, Wolfenbutteler Zeitung)
