Description

In this episode I'll examine the life and times of Sigurd Raschèr, one of the first major soloists on the saxophone. I'll dive into his legacy in terms of the repertoire he generated, his advances to the altissimo register, and his general "school of playing," as well as some really interesting facts along the way.
