Marcel Mule, Sigurd Rascher, and the Saxophone

Marcel Mule and Sigurd Rascher perceived the instrument differently than most (perhaps all) of their predecessors, succeeding in elevating its position in the musical world.  Their lives, careers, and legacies contain interesting parallels and differences which help us to better understand both the heritage and the current state of the saxophone.  The presentation will include recordings by Mule and Rascher performing the same works and videos to give a sense of the men.
