h2 quartet - Generations (2008)

Generations, the debut offering by the h2 quartet features much of the music that the group played during its competition days, including a gold-medal and first place performance at the prestigious Fischoff Competition in 2007. The album pays homage to three different generations of composers who have composed major works for the the quartet genre. Florio's Allegro de Concert is one of the first-ever works for the saxophone quartet. The late romantic work by Alexander Glazunov is another one of the standards in the literature, and Gotkovsky's Quatuor is a melodic yet modernist vision of what this ensemble can do.
