My, it's gorgeous. Your soung is all gold and velvet. And you live this music so deep. Learning to play this piece; wish i could play this half as wel as you do

[@michaelhanson980]

Thank you! I believe the tempo of this performance is stylistically and musically fitting for this composition. Thanks and best wishes

[@michaelhanson980]

Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate them! Best wishes to you, Michael Hanson

Beautiful tone, very smooth, I envy!.

[@emmacutting2046]

You have the type of saxophone tone and vibrato I like very much ... slower vibrato than some... and I don't hear the 'air' pushing through that I hear with some pro players. I did this on a grad recital in 1983... and for fun since... this one is tough to control one's air & breathing - especially nearing the end. I also play on Series II & use Larry Teal and C* Beautiful! Thank You for this. And, I prefer your tempo... many go a bit too fast, I think.

Thank you!

[@butterflybandgeek4185]

I love your sound. Why did you choose to take it slower? Not that it affects how great it is, I was just wondering.

[@michaelhanson980]

Thank you!
