5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to one of the masters!, March 6, 2007

This review is from: A La Francaise (Audio CD)

Delangle is one of the few players alive today that can be truy considered a true virtuoso and a master on the saxophone. Take a listen to what is technically possible on the saxophone. As mentioned before, Delangle is executing some of the hardest phrases to play technically on the saxophone and making it sound almost too easy. Another interesting note is, unless I'm mistaken, Delangle used a saxophone that is the vintage of when Adolphe Sax played to try and re-create what the saxophone would have sounded like in Sax's time. Amazing technical execution. Buy this CD, you will not be disapointed. An excellent CD just to have in your collection for a piece of history. Highly recommened!

5.0 out of 5 stars Claude Delangle Rocks, January 15, 2003

This review is from: A La Francaise (Audio CD)

This album is worth the 15 bucks just for the 5th movement of Tableaux de Provence. Claude Delangle's technique, phrasing and interpretational skills are still unmatched by any classical sax player. On one cd we are given the finest recording available of two major works for the saxophone, the aforementioned Tableaux de Provence, and Desenclos' Prelude Cadence et Finale. You shouldn't need to read this review to know that you should buy this cd, if it's from Delangle you know it will be awesome. It's nice to hear him playing something other than just contemporary saxophone as he is a master of all music.
