Prelude, Cadence et Finale (1956) - Alfred Desenclos

[@dctrbrass]

I love the expressive approach in the cadences. The choices that you made with tempo were perfect, in my opinion...gave you way more expressive freedom, than in some other recordings that I've heard. Beautiful playing :)

Love love love your tone. Subbed and hoping you'll upload more in the future! :)

Thank you!

Absolutely incredible. I love the tone, the slight vibrato, and the turns and everything. Everything we can expect to see from the University of North Texas and more.
What is your favorite setup when you need to flow through your range like this?

[@DrSarahDunbar]

Thank you! I play on a Selmer Reference 54 saxophone, a Rousseau NC4 mouthpiece, BG ligature, and a size 3.5 Signature Series Légère reed :)

I apologize but I'm not so familiar with the Legere line, I thought they only produced synthetic reeds?

[@DrSarahDunbar]

They do, I prefer to play solely on the Légère synthetic reeds :)

[@jimjames224]

Fascinating! I knew I wasn't crazy to think they can have a great sound in the classical world! My teacher always loathed synthetic reeds so we were never allowed to use them. Thanks for the replies and may your skill pay off in due time.

If anyone ever says legere reeds can’t sound amazing I’ll just send them this video from now on

Except for the "fwa" at every start and end of a phrase below the staff.

[@natec1490]

Anthony Govantes that’s not unique to synthetics

I am all Welch's grape over your tone (i.e. jelly)😀😀

Thank you :)
