Alain Crepin - Works For Saxophone

Review by Shane Serdenia

Alain Crepin is a renowned saxophonist who has created a masterpiece with his album "Works For Saxophone." The album features a collection of his original compositions, as well as some of the finest classical pieces transcribed for saxophone.

The album starts with Crepin's original composition "Aria," a beautiful and emotional piece that showcases his virtuosity on the saxophone. The album then moves on to classical pieces such as "Prelude in E Minor" by Chopin and "Adagio" by Mozart, which Crepin has arranged for saxophone.

One of the highlights of the album is Crepin's interpretation of "Gymnopedie No. 1" by Satie. The piece is hauntingly beautiful, and Crepin's playing is both delicate and powerful, capturing the essence of Satie's original composition.

Crepin also pays homage to some of the great jazz saxophonists with his rendition of "Body and Soul" by Johnny Green. His playing is smooth and soulful, and his interpretation of the classic jazz standard is both respectful and innovative.

"Works For Saxophone" is a must-have album for any fan of the saxophone. Crepin's playing is masterful, and his compositions and arrangements are both beautiful and innovative. This album is a true masterpiece and a testament to Crepin's talent as a saxophonist and composer.
