Kurt Bertels about the very first saxophone concerto in history (Paul Gilson)

Ann Geerts

The Belgian Paul Gilson wrote the very first saxophone concerto in history. A work whose score could not be found until recently. For Kurt Bertels, Flanders' youngest saxophone pride, the discovery was a godsend: he can now, together with Flanders Symphony Orchestra, present Gilson's "Saxophone Concerto No. 1" to the Belgian and international audience for the first time. A world first!
