I NEED His Classical Sax Sound!!

I have to revive my classical saxophone playing to prepare the Carnival of Venice! So, the first thing for me is go back to one of my main sources of classical saxophone inspiration - Valentin Kovalev. Let's explore his playing 😎 Also, great news! I just hired a video editor! I edited this one for a reference for him. Hopefully, if things go to plan, you will see regular content from me. Sorry for this channel's hibernation. I'm coming back, baby!! Speaking of which... I made a reddit community called Saxologic Reacts. I'd like to have a YT series like this video here, where me and multiple saxophone-guests throughout New York react to saxophone content (Tik Toks, YT vids, Shorts, Reels, etc.), and break it down together. It can be impressive, entertaining, funny, shocking, etc. Anything! I literally just made the community and there are no members in it other than me lmao, so please consider joining and share some sax clips!
