Although violin is my favorite instrument, I found it impossible not to notice sax players seem to play the most interesting notes. My exploration of the violin repertoire one day led me to Oistrakh's recording of the Hindemith Violin Concerto and I was hooked right away. I later discovered the violin sonatas and began to explore his wonderful piano music. The more I heard, the more interested I found myself in all his music. To better understand a composer I decided it is important to hear the full body of their work, for example just because you love Beethoven's violin concerto that's great but unless you are acquainted with the Eroica you're not getting the full picture. My exploration of Hindemith resulted in him becoming my favorite composer with a modern sound with a voice of his own like no other.
1 - 4 Hindemith Sonata for Alto Sax and Piano 1943
5 - 7 Densiov Sonata for Alto Sax and Piano 1970
8 - 10 Creston Sonata for Alto Sax and Piano op19 1939
11 Florent Schmitt Legende op66 1918
12 Alfred Desenclos - Prelude - cadence et finale 1956
13 Jacques Charpentier - Gavambodi 2 1973

This is a continuation of my old account from 6 years ago (rareviolintreasures), I started running out of things to upload that were out of print or rare and was just too tired to continue because I was working in excess of 100 hour weeks. My intention was to get the majority of recordings I had that were difficult to find, once I felt I had accomplished this goal, I decided it was time to stop.
A few months later I somehow got locked out of my account so 6 years later I am ready to resume. It was my hope that many collectors would continue where I left off and I'm amazed and delighted to see how many recordings have been made public in my absence.
I have always encouraged sharing out of print recordings but it is upsetting to see recordings made public of recordings that are still commercially available. Alot has changed in my 6 year absence as some things that were in print no longer are and vice versa, so keep in mind I no longer have access to my old account and can not modify or delete anything I put up before, it has always been my intention to not share recordings that still are in print as this would reduce support for the artist. It is my intention to only share music that is no longer commercially in print as I am as respectful as I can be to artists and record companies that continue to make their art available to fans like me. My intention is to share recordings to make recordings available so they do not get lost or forgotten. It is also my wish to share recordings for fans like me but also for the purpose of those who study the violin and encourage all who listen to acquire their own personal copy of these recordings in the used cd/lp market, in other words even though you hear it here on you tube for free, get your own legitimate copy if you hear something you like. I also would like to encourage others to fill in the gaps and pick up where I let off with recordings I don't have or may have missed, but only if the recordings have gone out of print. I want to re-emphasize I discourage anyone to upload a recording if it is still being sold commercially.
