About "Concertino da Camera pour saxophone alto et Onze instruments : Ibert: Concertino da Camera pour saxophone alto et Onze instruments: II. Larghetto" by David Parry
Ibert's Larghetto for saxophone and chamber ensemble floats with neoclassical poise, the solo line singing over spare, pointed accompaniment. Parry balances cool wit with tender lyricism, a quiet conversation between instrument and strings. The calm is elegant, yet a subtle restlessness simmers beneath.
