Try holding down the low 'B' key when you're playing those long closed hole, middle of the staff D's - this tends to bring the pitch down a little bit, as you are very sharp on those notes. You can often temper notes down that typically are off pitch on the saxophone. Your middle C# is typically flat, and using the second riser on your right hand (that you trill from b to c with) when playing an open C# will bring that up. However... when you play the high C# bring it down with the RH 3 keys.
sounded pretty good, you got all the technical stuff down easy. that high f sounds kinda.. iffy... spend time up in the altissimo and make it sound like a middle f would. and why did you only play like the first 3 and a a half pages? theres 2 and a half more pages to be played!
Sounds great bro, keep up the work. Check out some of the classical recordings on my myspace music page if you have time. Sounds great had fun listening to you play.
Wow that was one of the better version ive heard of this song. saxophon is a bit "windy" at times you can hear a lot of breath, but thumbs up to the piano! WICKED! that song is so hard on the piano!
that was really good!
and about the other comments, stop govong advice without being asked to!

Good job, but take your time on that cadenza! It's your chance to ham it up, take your time, and show the audience all you've got.

This was from my teacher's student recital. I only had enough time to play up to the cadenza.

Gotcha. I asked my teacher about it a week ago and he said most events have a time limit and only allow you to play to that point.

i was using a three and a half vandoren regular when this was filmed, but most of teh windy sound is from the camera.

The windy sound it's maybe because he uses a strong reed.
