Baljinder Sekhon II; Chen Yi; Timothy Stulman; Philippe Leroux; Frank Wiley; Steve Reich This compilation of new music for saxophone illustrates that the same can be said for the expansion of tone colors and extended techniques, which composers have devised to reject, or re-envision, the saxophone's conventional roles of mellow crooner, exotic beckoner, and improvisatory wizard. "Throughout this recital, one cannot but be amazed by Heisler's imagination, facility, and flexibility. The technical demands of these works are many, varied, and sometimes fearsome, and they are met by the soloist with apparent ease. I need to praise, as well, pianist I-Chen Ye, whose contemporary music credentials are as impressive as Heisler's, and who accomplishes some extraordinary technical feats, not least in the demanding Sekhon score." - Fanfare Magazine
