It's high time those of us who play classical music on saxophone put our talents on display. There's a very active thread in Misc. Saxophone Discussion where people post clips of themselves - it's one of the busiest areas on this board, other than the buy/sell postings.

I'm starting this thread because I'm personally interested in hearing what other participants in this area sound like.

The only thing that I ask of you is this: if you're going to take part here, be prepared to post. I've got no time for armchair critics.

Here's the first movement of the Albinoni Sonata St. Marc on soprano with piano accompaniment.

Continuation from my previous post:

Here is our rendition of Dvorak's Serenade for Winds arranged by Doug O'Connor. This is from the same performance as mentioned above!









Also, Mana Quartet released an audio recording from last year to further advertise their workshop taking place at Hot Springs Music Festival. Only a few spots left in the workshop!

Mozart K. 370 - 3rd Movement

Two Entries, for my first time, please Constructional Criticizes is welcome, but please be Gentle its my first time!

1) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14804156/40 Tchaikovsky - Andante 2.mp3
Andante is the name of the piece, Tchaikovsky is the composer.
- Was done on a YAS 82z, with a c* and traditional Vandoren 2 1/2, or 3. Its out of a play along book from hal leaonard. It does have a rough start!

2) Is Serenade by Hayden, it was does on my new Hummingbird Ref 54, and a c* with a 3 traditional Vandoren.

I had a real hard time getting this down and I finally just picked the best of 15 recordings, I did loose the beat a little, ended up rushing a bit at the end. I do feel the tone made up for it a little bit, theres something there I am not happy about, I never have "nailed" it, I might redo it later.

p.s: I've never really had much formal training and consider myself an amateur.

Thought I'd share an old recording of my performance of the Paul Creston Sonata, as I just got asked about this in another forum. This performance was from my college Senior Recital back in 1987, and was about as good as I ever got playing legit saxophone.

Dr. Dan Goble was my very fine teacher at the time, wish I'd have been able to study with him all 4 years. We didn't have an actual saxophonist to teach saxophone during my first two years of college.

This is my performance of the Lunde "Alpine" Sonata for Soprano Saxophone and Piano. This was at FSU while I was a student there back in 2009. Had only been playing soprano for a few months, but I really enjoyed it.

Movement I


Movement II
