Finally On CD in The States!, April 19, 2009
This review is from: Saxophone Concertos (Audio CD)
What a delight to find out that this has been issued on CD in the States. I paid quite a bit of money for this on a trip to Europe last year after owning the LP for decades. Rousseau is simply the best classical saxophonist I have ever heard. His is a very human sound, unlike so many others who make the saxophone sound emotionless, flat and horn-like. His Glazunov and his Villa-Lobos are without a doubt the best available. No lover of classical music or the saxophone should be without this wonderful recording of these all too unfamiliar pieces in their collection.

Historic Recording, July 15, 2009
This review is from: Saxophone Concertos (Audio CD)
I first heard this album in 1976, I was 18. I played it over and over again, and dreamed of one day studying with Dr. Rousseau and perhaps even performing at the high level presented on this recording. A few years later I was fortunate enough to study with Eugene Rousseau.
Now I am 51, I still find the playing on this CD inspiring and beautiful.
I continue to work to perform at the level presented on this recording.
Bravo! Eugene Rousseau

Classic Rousseau, November 4, 2009
This review is from: Saxophone Concertos (Audio CD)
Rousseau's concerto collection is a definitive example of these classic masterpieces for saxophone. His recordings are all excellent, but this one is a must for any saxophonist interested in the classics.
