This is the re-issue of GLO 5032 in the 6000 series. The original CD first came out in 1990 and after an initial slow start it eventually became one of the best-sellers from our catalogue. Even after the original GLO 5032 was deleted in the beginning of the year, orders for it kept coming in. some of them in surprisingly great quantities. So now it is back and even after nearly ten years it is still a unique issue with hardly any competition in the present international CD catalogues. The performances are as strong and beautiful as ever and we are still very happy with the recording sound which does not show its relative age at all! We have included the picture from the original issue in our present regular design so that the shops buyers will be able to identify this CD as one with which they have had already good sales.

The album Saxophone Sonatas was first released in 1990. After a slow start, it became one of their best sold albums. Years after selling out, record stores still received orders for this recording. Now the album is making its comeback and still the album won't have to fear any competition. The performances of sonatas by composers such as Paul Hindemith, Jacques Charpentier and Edison Denisov are still as beautiful and powerful as always, and the remarkably good audio quality hides the fact that this recording is somewhat older than usual. 

Saxophone player Arno Boskamp is a modern virtuoso, who is familiar with contemporary as traditional repertory. Since his debute in as soloist in 1982, he gave more than 250 concerts, many of which consisted of new works dedicated to him by contemporary composers. Bornkamp is also part of the Aurelia Saxophonequartet, and together with pianist Ivo Janssen he forms a duo.
