[Villa Lobos] 'incorporates nationalistic musical elements of Brazil along with melodic, lullaby-like themes, to make a truly contrasting and interesting three-movement work.' (Classic FM)
'Brazilian sonorities and rhythms are a perfect match for the saxophone' (WFMT)
[Glazunov] 'persistence paid off for Raschèr, who badgered Glazunov to write him a concerto. The Russian relented and the result - three short, pleasingly lyrical movements - was premiered by Raschèr' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Glaznov's Quartet is a foundational piece for the instrument' (WFMT)
