Classical Saxophone sax- Sean Hurlburt performs Ingolf Dahl's Concerto for Alto Saxophone with Northwestern's Symphonic Wind Ensemble conducted by Dr. Mallory Thompson
How is the Dahl terrible and dated? The sonorities still work well, the planning is great, and it's still a great challenge to play.
What I also like is the different choices one can make as far as when to play in the altissimo and when not. The last page of this movement, for example. Do you start off in the altissimo to bring out the isolation of the soloist after the massive section just before it? Or do you play in the lower octave as a type of release?

Thre is some nice playing here. This a terrible dated work without one first rate idea. The soloist should look into the Cummings Sop.Sax Concerto or the Torke Concerto.
Awesome job man!

Honestly...no matter what you think of somebody as a performer, you shouldn't put that on this website.
