With this album, fittingly entitled Traum der Jugend, the young musicians of Kebyart see a longstanding dream come true. Drawn by its eagerness to reveal new soundworlds, the saxophone quartet has interwoven works from different epochs and given them a new, unconventional guise through its own arrangements. Taking J�rg Widmann�s 7 Capricci as a starting point � a work specially written for the quartet which sparked the idea of this recording � Kebyart draws a myriad of musical connections that journey from Felix Mendelssohn, one of Widmann�s favourite composers, to Johann Sebastian Bach, himself a source of inspiration to Mendelssohn. The programme culminates with a tribute to Fanny Mendelssohn, whose skilful compositions played a key role in developing the musical personality of her brother Felix.
