Born to a bicultural French-South American artistic family, Carl-Emmanuel Fisbach has consistently sought to explore and expand the saxophone’s repertoire. Above and beyond the more traditional works he performs as a soloist (National Symphony Orchestra of Ecuador, Philharmonic orchestra of Yekaterinburg, Auvergne Orchestra and many others) and within the Denisov and Azar Duos, he collaborates regularly with composers and ensembles (Ensemble Intercontemporain, Ars Nova, Red Note Ensemble) and is a member of the “Futurs composés” network dedicated to new music. He integrates transcriptions into his repertoire, including tango. This open and eclectic approach has led to invitations to perform in international festivals (Flâneries Musicales de Reims, Festival Archipel Geneva, Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, Suntory Hall Tokyo). His recordings feature Hispanic repertoire (Duo Azar, PAI Records, 2011) and new works for saxophone and cello (Denisov Duo, Meyer Foundation, 2014). A CD for saxophone and percussion with original arrangements by Piazzolla and new works is released in 2016 (Tango Continuo, Paraty – Harmonia Mundi). Duo Azar releases another CD in 2019, featuring special guest Pierre Lenert, Viola Soloist of the Paris National Opera Orchestra (Bach & Hindemith, Paraty – PIAS Harmonia Mundi).
