Stephen Page & Alexandre Maynegre-Torra - Earthly Round (2025) Hi-Res

Saxophonist Stephen Page returns to Navona Records with EARTHLY ROUND, a selection of chamber works that showcase the saxophone’s capacity to traverse diverse styles, emotions, and cultural influences.

The title piece from composer Miriama Young serves as a poignant musical meditation on climate change and humanity’s impact on the planet. Young’s portrait of Earth’s fragile beauty is followed by Fazıl Say’s Suite that draws deeply from Turkish musical traditions, blending rhythmic vitality, folkloric melodies, and modal structures with moments of atonality to evoke the rich cultural tapestry of its roots. Page’s virtuosic display closes with Klockology, by Yusef Lateef, celebrating the saxophone’s expressive versatility.
