Описание: 01.09.26 – Camerata PYP, the orchestra’s premier chamber ensemble, performed Aleksandr Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto in E-flat major, Op. 109 featuring soloist Jacob Peizner at The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts.

Composed in 1934, Glazunov’s Saxophone Concerto stands as one of the most important works in the instrument’s repertoire. Written late in the composer’s life, the concerto blends Romantic lyricism with clarity of form, highlighting the saxophone’s expressive warmth, agility, and vocal quality. Flowing seamlessly between contrasting moods, the music moves from noble lyricism to playful brilliance, revealing both technical virtuosity and emotional depth.

With sensitivity and command, Jacob Peizner brought elegance and character to the solo role, shaping each phrase with poise and expressive nuance. Camerata PYP provided a vibrant and supportive partnership, illuminating Glazunov’s rich textures and allowing the saxophone’s distinctive voice to shine. Together, the performance captured the concerto’s beauty, charm, and enduring appeal.
