Schedules for 13 - 19 August, 2016

Adolphe Sax

The great musical progress of the 19th century would not have been possible without the ingenuity of the instrument builders, who patiently and painstakingly tinkered away, often barely keeping abreast of the demands that Romantic-era composers were making in their scores. Instrument builders too had their supreme virtuoso craftsmen, who blended aesthetics, beauty of tone, and practicality of use in developing the forms that we know and play today. And chief amongst these, as far as brass and winds is concerned, was Adolphe Sax. Thomas Goss looks at the work of the great 19th century instrument maker. (RNZ)
