This programme reflects a magical world akin to the visual experience of looking into and turning a kaleidoscope. The Mobilis Saxophone Quartet demonstrates diverse and overflowing facets of the classical saxophone. The repertoire spans significant names from music history, including one of the most crucial composers for the early history of the saxophone in the 20th century and a contemporary work by a prominent Austrian composer. The instruments traverse various styles, resembling an organ with J. S. Bach’s renowned organ work, the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565. They transition into a colourful orchestral style with Johann Strauss Jr.’s Fledermaus Ouverture, adopt a chamber-music-string-quartet approach with Alexander Glazunov’s Saxophone Quartet in B-Flat Major, Op. 109, and explore a spectral, quasi-electronic manner with Georg Friedrich Haas’ Saxophone Quartet. Soprano saxophonist and ensemble founder Michael Krenn explains, ‘With this colourful mix, we aim to express our passion for various musical styles and reach listeners with diverse musical backgrounds. The title seems fitting, inviting listeners to have a kaleidoscopic listening experience, surprised by the different sounds and fragments of music history.’
