Of a recent performance, LA Weekly writer Alan Rich hailed his performance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic—“The most beautiful sound I have yet heard in Disney Hall was the dark-blue/violet invocation from James Rötter’s alto saxophone that began Darius Milhaud’s La creation du Monde: throbbing, mysterious, hall-filling, yet seeming to rise from far reaches.” Rötter teaches saxophone at Cal State Fullerton.
