(David Salleras)
Music Revival presents the Barcelona-sound of Spanish
saxophone virtuoso David Salleras on May 2 and 4.
Salleras has distinguished himself by creating a new form of
writing for the saxophone, blending classical, contemporary music with improvisation
and traditional Spanish idioms. After finishing his studies at the conservatoire
in Barcelona, Salleras won a scholarship to study in France with Jean-Yves
Fourmeau and Nicolas Prost in Paris. His flexibility and knowledge of multiple
musical genres coupled with his unique ideas have resulted in a successful
international career. Salleras plays saxophones by Selmer, Paris and his works
are published by Edition Dinsic Barcelona.
Salleras is once again joined by pianist Christopher Duigan.
Like Salleras, Duigan has combined a classical pianist’s approach with working
knowledge of a varied repertoire that spans many genres and styles. With David
Salleras on saxophone and Christopher Duigan on piano, the programme includes music
by Astor Piazolla (Argentina), Jules Demersseman (France), Pedro Itturlade (Spain)
plus Salleras' own flamenco-inspired
compositions. Christopher Duigan's Richard
Guinness Project is featured in the light hearted Six Pint Sized Pieces which are aired regularly on ClassicFM.
