Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Parnassia Palustris takes its name from a form of grass A perennial, shortly rhizomatous herb of base-rich flushes in short grasslands Recorded at the 51st 'Salon Klang and kunst in krailling. Munich, Germany in Jan 2015 , the music features only the improvisations of two saxophonists playing only soprano saxophones Udo Schindler and Frank Paul Schubert. An encounter full of rewarding contrasts! The two musicians play often very differently, but this makes it all the more interesting in their often conflicting ideas"-FMR
