This is the most beautiful and elegant piece I have ever heard in my life. The contrapuntal texture makes the piece rum so smoothly. The piece is just wonderful, as is your artwork too. Brilliant video.

[guydgazit]

Thank you ever so much! :)

glad you liked it!

[TehZomg]

your videos are true art.

[guydgazit]

Thank you very much! :D

I always loved this since I first heard it, but it now has poignant associations for me A friend of mine was a professional cellist who was practising this piece while I was over at her flat. Later that year she died in a house fire and I can't hear it without remembering that tragic event.

[guydgazit]

That is so sad! :(

I am so sorry for your loss.

[guydgazit]

Thanks! :)

[LozzaCullen]

[guydgazit]

Thanks!!! :D

[ManOfNightmare]

the swan is the best from carnival of animals

[guydgazit]

Well, They are all unique... but I do get chills up my spine when I hear the swan... especially the cello has that effect on me...

[serene06]

The swan in the vid is really funny.Good job pal.

[guydgazit]

THANKS! :)

[guydgazit]

LOL... all the greatest artists have a time where they start burning their own creations... like Chaplin, that burned so many of his own films...

[Scopipod]

this was one of the only songs that Saint-Sa...what's his name actually published, because he thought that they would all hurt his image! (Wikipedia)

[guydgazit]

Cool, always glad to learn something new :)

[InfernalPurge]

In this piece you can hear most clearly there are two pianos: one plays the 'water' (broken chords) and the other plays the 'waves' (piano arpeggios).

[sddwest]

i just watched most of these, albeit out of order.

the saint-saens is beautiful, the concept is beautiful, 'yer work is beautiful. Many thanks, cheers

[guydgazit]

Thank you!

I'm Glad you liked it! :)

Well Mozart was mainly hated besides by a few church officials and was not recognised until around 50 years after his death.

[guydgazit]

Well... some princesses liked him too :)

But as far as I remember he was loved amond the royalty...

But my memory isn't as it used to be...

[ovad1122]

yeah recorders like to play stupid with this genre of music. They always focus on Pop Culture rather then the String/horn pieces.

[guydgazit]

Yeah... pop culture sucks... but only in the relevance of it's time... I'm pretty sure poeple thought the same about Mozart at his days... they may have said - oh, such a talent! wasting it on pop-classical music! hahaha (just kidding of course!)

[ovad1122]

Just to tell you, your numbers are a bit out of order and where in le Grande March? Ive performed this peice numerous times ... as principal cellist at that so I played the solo parts. But in all this piece is by far my favorite! But im violoncello so of course its mine lol.

[guydgazit]

Hmmm... thanks fo your comment :)

If the parts are out of order it's probably the orchestra's fault (or the record company) ;)

always good when you can blame others... right? haha

Glad you like it though :)

[hyddenchyld]

Wow! I love this song, and knowing how hard the animation can be, I applaud your efforts!

[guydgazit]

Thanks!

I love all "Carnaval of Animals", as a matter of fact - Camille Saint-saens is one of my favourite composers... I've always dreamt of doing the "carnaval of animals" in claymation...

Hopefully I'll redo it one day but better.

If you like it too, and the claymation, be sure to watch all 15 bits - by their number... I hope you enjoy.
