Raaf Hekkema (saxophones)About
In this 2-SACD set, Hekkema plays six different and precious instruments: two tenor saxophones, one soprano saxophone and three alto saxophones.
“The path to this recording was long, windy and fascinating. It started with the awareness that the cello suites provide exceptional playing material for saxophonists... During preparations for my previous CD recording of Bach’s partitas for violin (Challenge Classics, CC72648), I discovered that the alto sax fitted with an old-style mouthpiece could reproduce the refined articulation of the violin.
“Vintage mouthpieces represent the sound ideal of days gone by. Then came the idea to play the suites on six different saxophones, each of which holds a unique place in the history of the instrument. After that, much time went into working out a usable assignment of transpositions and an appropriate choice of instruments, the resulting sound character being the deciding factor.”
