The second concerto is Glass’ Concerto for Saxophone Quartet, performed by its dedicatees, the internationally renowned Raschèr Saxophone Quartet who premiered the piece at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival in 1995. Glass conceived the work as both a concerto for Saxophone Quartet and Orchestra and in the version sans orchestra which is heard on the current recording. Though the orchestral version was performed first (and is one of Glass' most widely performed orchestral works), it’s the quartet version which has been heard far more frequently – well over 100 times – and was the first to be composed. The work has four movements (slow-fast-slow-fast), each featuring a different member of the quartet.
Raschèr Saxophone Quartet:
- Kenneth Coon
- Christine Rall
- Bruce Weinberger
- Elliot Riley
