The Sax-Chamber Orchestra

Lawrence Gwozdz
conductor

A poignant title these days, but in fact this recording refers to American composers "remembering" the dream of Adolphe Sax, that his instrument could be handled much like the old viol family. Indeed, due to the striking works here, his dream is realized.
