Classical Up Close: Ferio Saxophone Quartet

The Ferio Saxophone Quartet use sublime imagination and virtuosity to re-interpret great works of classical music for four saxophones.

Their recordings for Chandos have been met with wide critical acclaim and demonstrate the breadth and flexibility of their instruments, repertoire and collaborations. They have won many awards since forming in 2012 and can frequently be heard on BBC Radio 3 and other international broadcasters.
