Nederlands Kamerkoor & Raschèr Saxophone Quartet - Kagel: Chorbuch - Les inventions d'Adolphe Sax (2012) [Hi-Res]

This album is the last production involving Mauricio Kagel, recorded less than a year before his death in 2008. One of the most significant artists of our time, Kagel set new standards not just with outstanding compositions, but also with his wonderful music for film. The release is also of particular importance to Leo Samama, the director of the Nederlands Kammerkoor, who says it was indispensable to invite Kagel to the orchestra and commission a composition from him, Les Inventions d’Adolphe Sax, performed here by the Nederlands Kammerkoor with the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet. For quite some time, Kagel had also wanted to conduct the Nederlands Kammerkoor on a recording of parts of Chorbuch. Both works were recorded in Amsterdam in December 2007: on the final day, Kagel decided to sing a part of Chorbuch himself.
