Recommended Recordings

Classical Recordings

This is a general list of classical saxophone recordings that I recommend for students and teachers. Though there are many great recordings available, this is a list of the more prominent saxophonists in our idiom that students need to be listening to. I have limited the number of recordings listed for each artist to five though there may be more. Each of the links will take you to Amazon.com to look for the best price possible.

Note: Though some of these albums offer MP3 downloads, I recommend purchasing the album for better sound quality and liner notes. Liner notes will help the listener gain a better understanding of the music, performers and composers.
