    Question: Who are these outstanding players? They play like a top-flight string quartet! Please identify!

      This is the Slapsus Quartet! You can find this recording from then live by searching the name.

    Why isn't there original stuff for sax quartet like this?

      This is an original for sax. He wrote it for sax quartet. Shame there isn’t more.

      Disclaimer: I am not a musicology expert, but from what I know and quick checked, this is my explanation
      Short answer: It got old quickly, plus racists in Academia stood against it being used in classical music.
      Longer answer: At first it was seen as an interesting novelty, but it grew old as it didn't fit (debatable) with the aesthetic of the music of the 19th Century. It also resembled the clarinet a lot (the fingerings, mouthpiece, and even tuning are VERY similar). It started being used in band music, which is how it got to the 20th Century, and it had a bit of a comeback in classical styles as well. But by the time jazz started growing in popularity, it started being associated with Black musicians, and even with various efforts to incorporate it back into the classical scene, it had already been too heavily coded as a jazz instrument for it to be (re)assimilated into a classical style.
      Ironically, and funnily enough, Glazunov was seen as a very orthodox and old-school composer, and some 20th Century composers wouldn't even believe he was still alive until 1936, so it's almost comical how this is one of the top classical sax pieces out there.
      Hope that answers your question, although if you'd really like a full answer, it might be better to ask someone who formally studies music

      @@thomasennser3113 I would say I agree, but I would add a little something : we don't have as much famous pieces, but there a lot of different kind of pieces being made, like the Volcanisc ash, for instance, or Outburst, or "She sings, she screams"
