Better, but still not up to snuff!.......2003-02-27
Well, it seems that Fischer decided to perform music that much better suited his level of proficiency on the saxophone. However, he was still unable to add any ounce of musicallity to even the most lyrical of melodies in the Quate. His tone also does not reach the level of brilliance that his former teacher, Eugene Rousseau, shows on the Heiden "Fantasia Concertante" on his own CD. I would recommend this CD only if you are a young student who wants to play the pieces with a metronome and along with the CD at the same time, as Fischer does not know the meaning of musical nuance. Maybe he will ask himself whether or not it is time to stop recording and focus on teaching. I will praise Fischer for one thing, This CD does not hurt my ears nearly as much as the first. Happy listening!
