Page "Marcel Mule" Paragraph 9

In 1958, Mule's career culminated as he embarked on a twelve concert tour of the United States with the Boston Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Charles Münch.

His program choice for the tour was Jacques Ibert's Concertino da Camera for alto saxophone, and Henri Tomasi's Ballade.

Writing about the program, New York journalist Louis Biancolli called Mule the " Rubinstein of the saxophone ".

( Just a few years earlier, a French journalist had qualified Marcel Mule as the " Paganini of the saxophone ".
