Beethoven Academy Orchestra of Krakow Elzbieta Penderecka, Aristic Director Maestro Piotr Borkowski, Conductor Greg Banaszak, Soprano & Alto Saxophones "This Concerto For Soprano Saxophone and String Orchestra Opus #344 was the most romantic concerto my husband ever composed. It was wrtitten for soprano saxophone, but as it were for my high coloratura voice. Mr. Banaszak, the soprano saxophone soloist, performs this concerto true to the composer's insight — a bird-like singing line played with Banaszak's rich plentiful tone. I am glad, finally, that the premiere recording of this concerto has been made by such a superb musician." Alan would have loved it! — Hinako Fujihara Hovhaness, January 2007 "It is a pleasure to have Mr. Banaszak record the first orchestration of Eugene Bozza`s Aria for Alto saxophone and String Orchestra! I wish him great Success!" — Monsieur Jean Leduc President Alphonse Leduc `Editeurs de Musique Leduc Publishing - Paris, France "Greg Banaszak is a very talented person who has a wonderful career as a saxophone soloist!" — Mr. Vincent J. Abato Professor of Saxophone Julliard School of Music Saxophonist - New York Philharmonic/Metropolitan Opera Orchestra "Greg Banaszak exhibits extraordinary control and dexterity on the saxophone, but above all his skill and sensitivity is always in service of the music and the composer. Beautiful compositions and truly virtuosic perfromances!" — Mr. Gary Keller Professor of Saxophone - Miami School of Music Member - Miami Saxophone Quartet "I really enjoyed your new 2 cd set and your wonderful interprettion of my largo for soprano saxophone and orchestra. Great work and congratulations!" — Ms. Joanna Bruzdowicz Award winning composer PREMIERE OF HALIM EL DABH`S NEW SAXOPHONE CONCERTO "Scored for alto saxophone and string orchestra the concerto touches upon egyptian folk sources, dance rhytyms and ruminative gestures. The saxophone is a doleful, charismaitc hero, especially as played with seamless and penetrating beauty by Greg Banaszak." — Don Rosenberg — The Cleveland Plain Dealer 11/21/07 "From the downbeat of the first number it didn`t take long for Banaszak to live up to his reputation; he played with a brilliance and flair that excited the audience!" Ronald Bennett The Odessa American
