I knew someone who studied with him for a year, and was full of praise for Londeix's wonderful instruction. I can hear they share the full range and power of the sax, also the great variety of mood and stillness achievable with the right musical sense.
Очень искренне и самозабвенно, темпы, стиль! Оркестр! Солист - ностальгическое высказывание, наиболее близкое к "русскому духу" повествование. Совершенно изумительно! Поражает законченность концепции, яркость и ясность подачи материала, глубина мышления! Брависсимо! Всё едино и о МНОГОМ. Это музыкальный памятник на долгие времена! МКШ.
I agree. When someone's alto sax approaches good a clarinet timbre, it makes me want to hear him/her belt out Brahms' clarinet stuff, which I've always thought could use a small dose of "sax" to add a touch of wistfulness and levity to all that great pithiness.
I actually like this recording very much, better than the Rousseau version. I prefer this particular tone, in all honesty, it is really similar to the tone I get. I don't like the held back restricted tone that I hear from alot of classical saxophonists. And with this tone, he really shines on the passionate parts of the piece, and he also had very nice musicality, I never met this guy and it is a shame if he is indeed a jerk, but I enjoyed this version of the concerto.
It's not... it was probably recorded at A=442. Pretty common in Europe. That, or the medium that it was recorded on was recorded 'slow', so when it plays back at a regular speed it's faster and a higher pitch level.
I don't think that's a very good thing to say. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you have to bash it so eagerly. We all have preferences on pieces like this. Standards like this, and Creston are so easily criticized because they're so well-known. Londeix was a true master of the instrument, and so many saxophonists would be appalled at your comment... ESPECIALLY Dr. Rousseau. For being a student of such a gentle person, I think you have a lot to learn...
Something along the lines of saying that Londeix was a cruel person who always had negative things to say about a persons playing. That, and Rousseau was a far better teacher because he always had kind things to say.
c'est insupportable ce son de saxophone "classique" ; c'est criminel de faire jouer ce répertoire à des enfants ! on ne peut que les dégoûter de ce merveilleux instrument. Avant Bério, le répertoire pour saxophone est vraiment indigent. ne parlons même pas des transcriptions de pièces de Chopin pour saxophone. Au secours !
Adam Aronesty A piece says nothing about the level of the musician who’s playing it. Anyone could play this piece, but it could be very messy. I personally think middle school is far too soon, but I don’t know you tho.

So beautiful!! I will be auditioning to be a saxophone performance major at colleges this year and I hope to play this piece.
Anna Hirsch best of luck! don't stop for anything and always keep the music close to your heart - there is much light at the end of the tunnel!
I can say the same. I had a class with him at U of M in 1974
I've had the pleasure of having a class with him. He's incredibly nice. He's also extremely direct and demanding. Truly one-of-a-kind.
magichristo I wish my sax teacher was nice..... my sax teacher was a dick and thought he was God’s gift to this world...
Ce concerto est une merveille
Wow! What a playing!! Excellent!
Now I want to see that negative commen because this is GORGEOUS!
I agree! He's my favorite.

I like this music and orchestration more than famous Glazunov . Excellent playing too !
I LOVE THIS TONE!!!
wonderful!!!!
Thank you c:
L'ambassadeur du saxophone et de son enseignement dans le monde entier en son temps....
The 24 thumbs down must people who aren’t musicians and can’t play the sax.
Indeed. this recording is half a step up than the original. Probably some flaw with the means in which it was recorded
Probably from a turntable
In Cuba, musicians love his music and we follow him. Could be one day he can visit us.
It will be a real honor.
This is my 9th grade south jersey band tryout piece. I don’t know why they chose this hard of a song for a high school tryout. I like the song anyway
❤️Fantasticooo❤️
Sounds good in E Major...too bad writing it in that key would be the equivalent of strapping an alto player to the rack...
so true
it’s an effect of the recording, i believe the performer played it in the original key…
It's beyond 442, so must be the medium indeed.
does it bother anyone that this is nearly 12c sharp?
Chris Lopez For real! 😂
Frankly, it was to be expected.It's an old recording,after all.
OCD😆
Really doesn't bother me. I always find it interesting when recordings like this end up skewing sharper...gives it a new edge on a classic.
I just died listening to this.

He is my teachers teacher and I can say that no he is not a jerk
muito bom!!

WHAT DID IT SAYYYY!!
why is this up a half step?
this is way higher than A442 so it's probably mostly the latter.
that mouthpiece he used on glazunov?
Mr Sax93 probably a selmer C double star...

Londeix=tone standard for legit alto. Just my opinion...

If I think how many of his students he humiliated for nothing and listen to this performance, I feel very good ....

Way too sharp >.
His tone is rather vulgar.
isn't he dead? ;o
yes
Mr_Jones he’s currently still alive lol

Ce point de vue n' engage que vous.
alors ne l'écoute pas
Is it weird that I'm playing this for a middle school competition?
It may be easy to play the right notes, but you have to have amazing phrasing to pull it off.
I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm playing this for my solo.
