An unusual concert

A most unusual concert with 4 Saxophones ( Baritone-, Tenor- Alto- Sopran-) and a Tenor vocalist,
all performing "Schubert Lieder" in the Werner Berg Galerie in Bleiburg.

Unusual? 

Yes! Because Franz Schubert died on 19th November 1828

while Adolphe Sax registered his patent for the Saxophone in 1846.

Schubert's "Lieder" (songs) were written for Voice and Piano

or string instruments.

The classical sound of the Saxophones sounds somewhat strange to ears

which are used to these instruments in the genre of Jazz.

I kept wondering what this music would sound like 

if the Baritone was being played by Gerry Mulligan, 

the Tenor by Stan Getz 

the Alto by Cannonball Adderley

the Soprano by Sidney Bechet

and the vocal by Ella Fitzgerald.

Since these 5 performers were excellent musicians in the classical style

it was still a wonderful musical experience.
