Saxiana Historic Collection

Since 1990, Saxiana and the saxophonist Nicolas Prost is always looking for works for the classical saxophone forgotten, rare, unpublished. Nicolas Prost collects a great deal of information from families, heirs to manuscripts, from private collections as well as from National Libraries, Universities or special Foundations. These works are kept in memory in the funds of the Saxiana collection and are currently and punctually represented to the public in discographic, editorial or concert form. This list is a selection (many other complete works have been observed and discovered (for example orchestral works included saxophone solo or saxophone section)

In addition to this work, Nicolas Prost has collected solos in the Film by the great french saxophonist Marcel Mule, Films realized between 1930 and 1955 (Ibert, Tomasi, Thiriet, Scotto, Jaubert, Wiener, Hubeau, Honegger, Auric, Milhaud..). You could appreciate the characteristic lyrical sound of the legend and some rare recordings of his debut career. A CD is now available to listen more than 60 audios extracts, = please contact associationsaxiana@gmail.com to buy it.
