This album is very disappointing. The soprano saxophone's nasal oboe-like sound on this seems quite out of character with the music it's supposed to be playing. The "snippet" or "best-of" approach to classical music this disc takes is also lacking in any regard for the integrity of the music. If you want to hear Bradford Marsalis in a classical setting, get his cd "Creation," with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. As one might expect from their other wonderful collaborations (Goode, Maisky, etc), it's far better in terms of artistry and musical selection.
