Description:Walking The Dog by Andreas Mader & Joseph Moog, released 26 April 2024. This version of Walking The Dog comes as a 1xCD. -
A surprising and refreshing journey which explores the confines of the repertoire for saxophone and piano, Walking the Dog unites two formidable virtuosos of the contemporary classical scene, the Austrian Andreas Mader and the German Joseph Moog.Walking the Dog is a multifaceted work, an authentic melting-pot, a surprising witness to the richness of the international musical scene at the beginning of the 20th century. One would then encounter styles as diverse as the mambo, the merengue, the habanera, or the samba, or even fusions of these seemingly separate genres. Andreas Mader and Joseph Moog open their recital with Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue in the inspiring version of the Japanese Jun Nagao. Under their sensitive and incisive fingers, it becomes the spirit of Jazz itself, sparkling and fresh. The Suite of seven pieces adapted from Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet pursues it in a trenchant and caustic way: the saxophone, part soprano part tenor, displays all it's colours.This programme also pays tribute to France - a well-deserved homage to the country where Adolf Sax fathered such a great family of instruments. Some works are iconic, such as Debussy's Rhapsody (in a new and impressive version by the saxophonist), Milhaud's Scaramouche, some less known, like the Two Pieces by Lili Boulanger, and we have a genuine rarity, the Five Exotic Dances, a brilliant and exciting suite of miniature compositions from 1961 by Jean Francaix. Andreas Mader and Joseph Moog conclude their journey by a return to the origins - New York - by giving us the little Promenade, under the title « Walking the Dog », that Gershwin composed for the film Shall We Dance with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.This is an absolutely thrilling album which arouses both curiosity and senses, a true revelation from this surprising duo. It is impossible to resist Andreas Mader's voluptuous saxophone interlocked into the golden piano playing of Joseph Moog.
"Walking The Dog" is a captivating CD featuring the exceptional talents of pianist Joseph Moog and clarinetist Andreas Mader. This album, released by the renowned label Naive / Indigo, offers an exquisite selection of works that blend classical elegance with playful modernity.

Andreas Mader complements him perfectly with his refined tone and musical sensitivity, establishing himself as one of today?s leading clarinetists.
