In 2011, five saxophonists converged in Vienna from around the world. United by a modern conception of virtuosity and a desire to push performance limits, Five Sax had arrived. This international saxophone, quintet based in Vienna, present their debut recording with famous film tunes from Laurel & Hardy, James Bond, Harry Potter, The Pink Panther and other films. Saxophone and cinema are two major pillars of 20th c. culture, having risen to prominence in parallel. This natural affinity makes the field of film music particularly alluring to the members of Five Sax. From blazing trumpets announcing bloodthirsty pirates to seductive violins introducing the woman of your dreams, Five Sax uses the saxophone's full sonic range to bring alive the most glorious heroes and despicable villains ever seen on the big screen. All arrangements are the ensemble's own creations.
