Bis, 1999 Simply the best + Go Claude! + Master pieces by Delangel This is just one of several CDs by Claude Delangle that prove he is unmatched as a classical saxophonist--period.

Koch Int'l Classics, 1993 None other then Prism I had the pleasure of listening to this album and i have to say that i have yet to hear a saxophone quartet as young as Prism play with the fluency and musicianship as they do.

Polygram Records, 1995 A GOODLY DOSE OF DAHL + Best Dahl recording out there Dahl's music offers a curiously eclectic blend of dissonance, jazz and romanticism, not unlike Copland, Stravinsky and Milhaud. His striking Concerto for Alto Saxophone [1949/rev. 1954], with its formidable, yet lyrical work for the soloist, offers the widest range of expressive drive, emotional ...             The World Famous Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra8 reviews James Forger, John Carbon, ...

While all the music on this cd is very beautiful and played by top notch performers and sax quartets, I have to say that Mcallister's recording of the Bolcom Concert Cuite on this cd may be the best saxophone recording of any piece, ever. Believe me, you have never heard this kind of playing ...             Scena: Contemporary Music for Saxophone6 reviews Timothy McCallister Equilibrium Records, 2000 Mcallister is just plain awesome + great CD with interesting program choices + McAllister is amazing + Superb Saxophone + Amazing new music for saxophone             The Solitary Saxophone4 reviews Claude DeLangle, Luciano Berio, ...

Musicaphon, 2001 Great classical saxophone!! Harry Kinross White's beautiful tone and very apparent joy in playing make this my favorite classical saxophone CD. Arno Bornkamp's version of the Shulhoff suffers greatly by comparison even if it is better known. If you want to hear alto saxophone played at the very highest level of artistry ...             Saxophone Repertory Collection1 review Nobuya Sugawa Toshiba EMI, 2003 Excellent for any student of the saxophone. Nobuya Sugawa is one of the technically cleanest players that I have ever heard, and in this collection Sugawa does an overview of many of the "staples" of the saxophone repertoire.

This disc explores music for this ensemble by three big names (Donatoni, Xenakis and Gubaidulina) and one less well-known one (Tanada) and an arrangement of a Ligeti classic. I suppose it was only a matter of time before someone arranged ...             Saxophone Sonatas4 reviews Jacques Charpentier, Paul Creston, ...

Bis, 1995 A great performance of one of Denisov's finest works + Awesome playing BIS have devoted a number of discs to contemporary composers from the former USSR (Schnittke, Gubaidulina and Part amongst others).
