I have an LP copy of this record that I have burned on to a CD. The record was in good condition and with the Magix Cleaning software, I have made an excellant copy. I agree with all the above that this is one of the prettiest pieces of music...ever (e-mail address)

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Sax by Sil Austin, September 14, 2002

By

This review is from: Great Sax (Audio CD)

I purchased the CD "Great Sax" by Sil Austin and although Sil Austin plays the Greatest Sax, I was disappointed. The orchestra with violins take away from the Sax. I have the 45 rpm recording of "Danny Boy," and the beauty of Mr. Austin's Sax chokes me up every time I hear it even though it's scratchy and re-recorded on cassette. There is no orchestra to drown out the beauty of his music, or if it's there, it's so far in the background as to be unnoticeable.. I agree with "turtlepnt" that it will be wonderful if the powers-that-be would see fit to re-issue the original versions of "Danny Boy" as will as "Slow Walk" on a CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars the BEST, July 7, 1999

I have a LP of "Sil Austin, plays pretty for the people" I bought this back in the 60's. The music is so soothing that I wore it out. I would love to get a CD of this.
