I love Marcel Mule's the best. I have heard several recordings and nobody really plays with as much subtlety, sensuousness, and liveliness. Unfortunately, the recording is a bit old. And so the orchestra is not as well recorded as they are today. Therefore, if i was to pick the recording with the best orchestra I would probably pick the New York philharmonic recording w/ Sigurd Rascher.
Favourite recording of Debussy with Orch
Yesterday I did a really interesting activity with a student of mine, where we sat down and listened to 4 different sax players doing the 1st half a page of the Debussy. We then discussed what we liked about each/didn't like. So I'm asking what is your favourite recording of the Debussy and why? Also if you like attributes of other sax players interpretation's what were they?

Yeah, this is perhaps the worst Rascher recording. I was totally surprised when i heard it. Tone immediately jumps out as the first problem, then intonation, the vibrato speed. But, it is Sigurd Rascher! I also like the french horns in the recording.chitownjazz said:I like Deffayet's, beautifully controlled tone.
The Rascher version is my least favorite recording of his.
And I agree, "comparative listening" is really an excellent listening activity.
I have not heard Deffayet's.
