Great vocal masterpieces are given a new voice in a bold and poetic programme by Spanish saxophonist Carlos Gim�nez, who showcases the instrument's profoundly lyrical side, capable of breathing, sighing and singing with startling emotional immediacy. Together with pianist Jos� Alberto del Cerro, the songful qualities, richness of colours and genuine human expressivity of works by Mompou, Rachmaninoff, Montsalvatge, Wagner and Obradors are transformed into luminous "songs without words," revealing the saxophone's hidden vocal soul.
