That's an odd one as it sounds very much like a cor (an alto sax will have a much fuller sound overall) - and at that point (2:54) the cor has C# - B-C#-B-G and the alto sax would have D# - C#-D#-C#-A so the phrase starts with an upper register note dropping to a lower register note on both instruments with both instruments giving that difference in tone.

I don't know - to me it sounds like a cor played with a very thick velvety tone and some of the notes have the weakness of the cor. If it is an alto sax, then I take my hat off for him making an alto sound very much like a cor!
