Quattro sassofoni, se messi nelle mani giuste, possono vantare l’impatto sonoro, la cura del dettaglio e la sinuosità di movimento di un’intera orchestra sinfonica. E fin dalla maniera “coreografica” con cui suonano in semicerchio, i membri del Signum Saxophone Quartet riescono a insufflare nuova vita in ogni repertorio che attraversi le loro ance. La padronanza delle dinamiche, la coesione d’insieme, l’abilità nella trascrizione e il disinvolto superamento di ogni ristrettezza timbrica permettono loro di creare suggestivi percorsi nelle geografie dell’immaginario musicale, attraverso l’attenta rielaborazione e il temerario accostamento di materiali eterogenei per epoca, contesto e provenienza. Fino a condurli, insieme a chi ascolta, verso esiti non di rado sorprendenti.

Four saxophones, if placed in the right hands, can boast the sonic impact, attention to detail and sinuosity of movement of an entire symphony orchestra. And right from the "choreographic" way in which they play in a semicircle, the members of the Signum Saxophone Quartet manage to breathe new life into every repertoire that passes through their reeds. The mastery of the dynamics, the cohesion of the whole, the skill in transcription and the nonchalant overcoming of any tonal narrowness allow them to create suggestive paths in the geographies of the musical imagination, through the careful reworking and the daring juxtaposition of heterogeneous materials for time, context and provenance. Up to lead them, together with the listener, towards not infrequently surprising results.
