Description

Amy is an Australian classical saxophonist who grew up on Sydney's northern beaches. On her sophomore album, Amy has recorded on soprano saxophone a transcription of the Violin Concerto by Philip Glass, The Protecting Veil by John Tavener, and Where the Bee Dances by Michael Nyman. It was recorded at London's Cadogan Hall with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Mikel Toms. Amy is a strong advocate for contemporary music, and people may be better acquainted with Michael Nyman's music because of his best selling musical score for the movie "The Piano". Where the Bee Dances is from another of his film scores; Peter Greenaway's film Prospero's Books. Philip Glass' famous Violin Concerto has been specially arranged for soprano saxophone this recording. The Tavener work is the first section from his larger Cello Concerto, and is also a special arrangement.
