They are quite excellent! Also, there is a Japanese guitarist who has
recorded the Beethoven Violin Concerto a good deal more sucessfully than
you would have any reason to expect. I think really good music can
withstand such fresh viewpoints, even though they will never replace the
original versions.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
