Marcus Weiss is one of the leading international saxophone players of our time. His repertoire includes all epochs of his instrument's short history, from the beginnings in impressionistic France to the present. He is passionate about establishing the saxophone as a solo instrument in today's classical music world. He regularly plays the great - and unfortunately often neglected - saxophone concertos and has played a crucial role in increasing the repertoire for the saxophone with numerous premieres of new works.
At the Ultraschall Festival Berlin and the Festival for New Music Stockholm Marcus Weiss played Giorgio Netti's Necessitè d'interrogare Il Cielo :
"The 70-minute-solo for soprano saxophone Necessitè d'interrogare Il Cielo by Giorgio Netti was full of purpose, a meditation about the innate character of the instrument and about the dedication an out standing musician such as Marcus Weiss evinces in playing it - a highlight of the festival."
