Arno Bornkamp


Dutch saxophonist Arno Bornkamp (1959) is the archetype of the modern virtuoso, feeling equally at home in traditional and contemporary repertoire. Hailed as a lyrical musician with a great sense of performance, Bornkamp studied at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam with Ed Bogaard and graduated in 1986 with the highest distinction. He has won many awards, the 'Silver Laurel of the Concertgebouw' and the 'Netherlands Music Prize' among the most noteworthy. The latter enabled him to go abroad, studying in France with Daniël Deffayet and Jean-Marie Londeix, in Japan with Ryo Noda as well as working with composers as Luciano Berio and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

Since his 1982 solo debut in Rome, performing the 'Concertino da Camera' by Jacques Ibert, he has played more than 250 concerts with orchestras and ensembles around the world. Chamber music is also a great love of Arno Bornkamp. He has a long-standing duo with pianist Ivo Janssen and is part of the Aurelia Saxophone Quartet (one of the world's most acclaimed saxophone quartets), which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2008.

Arno Bornkamp's many activities (including concerts, festivals, masterclasses, lectures) have taken him to many countries in Europe, the USA, the Far East and South America. The many CD's he has made since 1990 on various labels have garnered national and international praise. Arno Bornkamp is a renowned teacher, leading an international saxophone class at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. In the summer he teaches at the 'International Saxophone Masterclass in Laubach' (Germany) and at the 'Université d'Eté Européenne pour saxophone' in Gap (France).

L'Arlésienne Fantasy Concert - Santiago Baez

i. Overture
ii. Menuetto
iii. Intermezzo
iv. Farandole

The young Spanish composer Santiago Baez composed this piece inspired by themes form the great work 'L'Arlésienne' by Georges Bizet. This work from 1871 is one of the first in which the alto saxophone appears with some beautiful, legendary solos. Baez approaches Bizet in his own style, full of jazz and flamenco!
