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?

I like the blend John Harle gets with the orchestra. Almost as if he was sitting in the woodwind section. Interestingly he claims to have been influenced by
Paul Desmond. Dry sound, tasteful vibrato. Similar to Delangle?
