FERIO SAXOPHONE QUARTET

Classical Notes, Nick Boston In 2015, saxophonist Huw Wiggin’s recital was the highlight of the Brighton Festival’s lunchtime concerts, and the following year he returned with the fellow members of the Ferio Saxophone Quartet to wow audiences once again.So it’s great...

Seen and Heard International, Simon Thompson

“So it proved with Ferio Saxophone Quartet’s morning concert in their Bach for Breakfast series. It turns out that Bach suits the saxophone rather well! The Italian Concerto bounded along with tremendous energy, with a soaring soprano line for the central aria, and their chosen prelude from the Well Tempered Clavier was dazzling, as was the G minor prelude and fugue. Perhaps the instruments suited their choice of Renaissance vocal movements even better. Byrd’s Ave Verum soared richly, and their arrangement of Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater integrated the famous walking bass into the rest of the texture very successfully.”

“with execution that was full of expression”

 The Latest, Andrew Connal 

“We were enticed musically right around the world, the style varying from classic formality to blended barber-shop smoothness, with wonderful effects of bustle and rush, yelps and squeals, clicks, clucks and the knelling of bells.”
