The Saxophone

The Saxophone

Thanks to a quirk of history, the saxophone—invented in 1846—never became a full-time member of the orchestra, but it makes many memorable appearances. Whether as a guest among the orchestral woodwinds, featured in intimate chamber music or at the front of the stage as a soloist, the saxophone has some great tunes, as this playlist demonstrates.
