You'll keep listening!.......2004-01-25

What do you get when you take one of the most beautifull, largest organs of the world, in a place with great acoustics, fill it with the world's best organists?
Exactly! This CD!
The works of Robert Hebble alone are worth buying it. I'm astounded that he is so little known in the world of the organ. His composition "A Symphonie of Light" is such a fantastic work of art, it's serious, complex, it has mystique, it's radiant, exuberant. Well I just love it!
This CD is VERY good, the recording also is pretty good, but you only get a distorted view of distances. That still makes it worthwile!

This is an impeccably recorded CD. Perfect balance of organ and audience applause--there is little indication of it being a LIVE recording, except for the applause. The performances are awesome. Tom Hazleton's theatre-organ influences can be heard in his interpretation of Bach's T & F in d-minor. As flamboyant as Fox himself would have played it. The concert ends with F. Swann playing an emotional Come, Sweet Death with 20 tolls of the great bell (20 years since Fox's death). He then leads the attendees in O God, Our Help in Ages Past. Splendid singing by what must be an audience of musicians, and fantastic hymn-playing as only Swann can do on the great 5-manual Riverside organ--utilizing all of its vast resources in the final 'amen'.

Sax and Brass.......2001-09-17

This cd features Dr. Michael Jacobson from Baylor University together with some of his colleagues playing some pieces for saxophone that are probably seldom heard and even more seldomly recorded. The first four pieces by William Hartley (Concertino de Camera,) M. WIlliam Karlins (Catena II,) Fisher Tull (COncerto de Camera) and BIll Holcombe (Blues Concerto) all feature soprano or alto saxophone and brass quintet. Frederick Fox's "S.A.X." is for Solo Alto saXophone and sax quartet, and the final "Concertato" by Richard Willis is for alto and WInd Ensemble.

One of Jacobson's cd's was nominated for a grammy--and he is a truly exceptional saxophone soloist, and this cd helps to project the fact that there are more pieces for saxophone than those with piano or orchestra. The pieces are all enjoyable, and Jacobson's brass colleagues at Baylor are all equally talented on their respective instruments.
