about

Imaginary 1 features music for unaccompanied saxophone by Portuguese composers. From the Soprano to the Baritone Saxophones, the works presented here have been written by Virgilio Melo, Sara Carvalho, João Pedro Oliveira, Filipe Vieira, Luís Carvalho, Evgueni Zoudilkine and Christopher Bochmann.

“I know, I alone
How much it hurts, this heart
With no faith nor law
Nor melody nor thought.
Only I, only I
And none of this can I say
Because feeling is like the sky -
Seen, nothing in it to see.”
Fernando Pessoa
