Recorded in the legendary LENDOK Studios in Saint Petersburg, together with conductor Fabio Mastrangelo and The St. Petersburg Northern Sinfonia, this is a unique of new Norwegian music for saxophone and orchestra.

Navona Records is proud to announce the re- of David Tanner's 1988 album The Eloquent Saxophone. Tanner is no Stranger to Navona; his compositions and arrangements can be heard on two other Navona releases Of Birds and Lemons (2012) and Dashing (2016). This was his first album, featuring him as a performer. It includes two unaccompanied pieces and two sax quartets recorded by multi-tracking, as well as a rich variety of works with accompaniment admirably rendered by pianist Marc Widner. The music ranges from Schumann to a stylized blues by Gene DiNovi. Tanner's musical language is enriched by classical training and a career encompassing rock'n'roll and jazz as well as symphony. Reviewer Denis Armstrong wrote in Music Magazine, InchNot long into this recording, one begins to marvel at the sheer joy David Tanner's playing conveys... a dense and rich recording... at times elegant and elegiac, other times ribald and visceral. But the one constant is the joy and clarity of expression.Inch The first track sets the tone InchSerenade comiqueInch is a brief, frantic sax quartet composition that evokes Parisian traffic or perhaps a flock of birds. InchLa Blues,Inch the other quartet selection, evokes the melancholy of New York in the depth of night. InchIt is a treat for the listener to hear this feat of multi-tracking done so well,Inch said reviewer Joseph Viola in Saxophone Journal. Each track is in contrast to the one before it; each represents something different and interesting. To quote Music Magazine again, InchThe Eloquent Saxophone [is] a thoroughly eccentric, invigorating and generous treat.Inch Album Tracks 1. Serenade Comique 2. Sonatine Sportive 3. La Blues 4. Tableaux de Provence 5. Syrinx 6. Romance No. I 7. Caprice en Forme de Valse 8. Etude No. VIII 9. Nola 10. Music for Saxophone and Piano
