CD Reviews

Great performances, plastic sound
A Reviewer | 12/20/2007
(3 out of 5 stars)

"While I agree whole heartedly with the virtues of these performances spoken of by the other reviewers, I have to subtract some stars for John Vana's sound. The collaboration between John Vana and Jenny Perron is wonderful. The performance of the Muczynski is brilliant and spirited. But I wish he would lose the Fibracell reeds before recording again. The plastic buzzing on certain notes is cloying. The low register is unfocused and defuse, especially at low volumes. Overall the saxophones sound is somewhat thin, buzzy and lacking in the warmth of a full round core. While the plastic reeds do seem to afford him technical facility and an altissimo that is seamlessly matched with the other registers, they create an undesirable one-dimensionality to his sound."
