Solo de Concours by André Messager

[ApertureScience100]

You're very good and musically mature!



[vicenttoba]

que bien te suena el clarinete me encanta cual es¿???

puede que sea el yama/csg o algo de eso¿???

mencanta

[xDumitruX]

slowly... ;)

[sempreliberadeggio]

Bravo! Very Very beautiful!

[skezzad]

@IAmAllKnowing29

Also, Julian Bliss plays it far too fast. The tempo marking is 'Allegro non troppo' so I reckon Jose plays at the right tempo. Julian is just showing off, Messager would be tearing his moustache out

[DaleFedele]

@IAmAllKnowing29

And then listen to intellectual structure, style, pacing, subtleties, and you will find Franch-Ballester far exceeds most flashy players these days.

[2008Messenger]

I hope to god he's taking that faster than temp...that's what my Private lesson teacher is having me do for s and e...I'm screwed

[klarinetta]

@IAmAllKnowing29 This is not very difficult piece.Mostly scales up and down.The most difficult part of it is to let it sound as a lyrical piece and not as technical study or show piece. To see what I'm talking about then I highly recommend that you listen to the recording of the Nielsen concerto from 1970 I think with John McCaw and the Philharmonia orchestra.

[TrabalRipoll]

Wow, you play super, José!!!! Veeery nice performance of this beautiful work!!! 5 stars, of course.

[KenMase]

Excellent player beautifut sound.

[86ZDriver]

Circular breathing on clarinet............nice.

[jazzgent]

All in all very very good performance. Very smooth sound. thank you.

[z0sim0]

wow maybe are a BAKUM's barrel or not ?

[clarinetgirl78]

@z0sim0 Could be a Guy Chadash barrel.

[nemmate94]

clarinete09 Maybe:) And it looks like he uses a special barrel, thats why it sounds so sweet.

[minimrl1]

You 2 play so well. I really enjoy listen to you.

[lovesprayz]

i has been try this song but.. it so hard.. so allegro

[arealg]

i tink it's a rossi

[dckuki]

And maybe its a Patricola clarinet, i guess. Correct me if i was wrong.:)

[clarinete09]

@dckuki Its Rossi I guess..

[davidem84]

Me alegra escuchar a un clarinetista español de tan buen nivel, eso esta impecable. Enhorabuena.

[web4pro]

Magnifique ! autant techniquement que musicalement .... difficile de croire que c'est œuvre est difficile pourtant elle l'est ... bravo !! les problèmes techniques sont complètement maîtrisés et il peut laisser libre court à son imagination pour la musique ! magnifique !

[Gergerdt]

bravo!!!!!

[jzzsxm]

Holy JESUS!

[lungaclarinetquartet]

woow

[Clarinetevallero]

Molt bonica...es una interpretació execelent,ja qué el solo de concours es molt dificil de tocar...pero tu he u has fet de mervella...ojala poguera tocar-la com tu algún dia!!Grande José,grande!!!

[MusicJacob]

Hmm that looks like an interesting ligature.

Is that a Peter Spriggs Floating Rail Ligature I see?

[slipknotmetal66666]

i think it's a BG ligature you see ;)

[klarinetta]

@slipknotmetal66666 You can definitely see by the gold plate on the site of the ligature that it's a Rovner model.

[trajesdecamps]

wow increible jose!! Asi llegaras muy lejos!

[bolio86]

my new favorite recording of this piece. Awesome job man!

[Michaelanthonyjr]

I thought it sounded GREAT. I love your other works as well. Ignore the idiots below. Some people just cannot take the competition that is out there.

[carusoclarinet]

bravo! this is a very mature rendition of a showpiece. while looking at music while listening to this, i enjoyed the way you laid out the melodic material and the cadenza was wonderfully paced, too. since i know that you are a professional of growing stature, i'm sure you don't take take these people's 'tips' with a grain of salt. keep doing what you're doing and leaving the others in the dust! cheers from cleveland!!

[knappyman]

4) This is somewhat of a personal preference. The sextuplets in the slow section sounded like pairs of triplets. I've found it easier to play when thinking of the groups as 3 sets of two, not the other way around. It also creates an interesting hemiola effect against the piano's strict duple melody.

Overall great playing! good for you!

[knappyman]

2) Similarly, it seemed a little held back. It's such a fluffy showpiece, and there was enough raw emotional output.

3) Check your intonation in the slow section and the cadenza. Since we normally don't use vibrato, we clarinetists must have perfect tuning!

[knappyman]

It's quite good. I enjoyed your interpretation, however I do have a few constructive comments for you:

1) Your dynamic range is rather small. Everything sounded like mezzo something or other. This piece is not all that musically complex so add some character with some really impressive softs and louds.

[juanjomates]

Esta muy bien tocado y la respiracion continua es un puntazo!!very good

[slipknotmetal66666]

thats one giant iphone lol ...

[slipknotmetal66666]

hahaha no han kim does not play better :) i know , i am music instructor/// ...

so before making a fool (AND B*TCH) out of yourself, try having a better life and study the art of clarinet a bit more :)

[Catarina6100]

I am music instrutor too!

I have a degree in music!

And han Kim have 11 years old!!

Play very well for his age!!

are you sure that you are a music instrutor?

[slipknotmetal66666]

you are 18 lol ,

btw a music intruCtor wouldn't talk like this , and would give constructive critisism ...

age doesn't matter, its about how you play the piece now ! not at what age ...

[Santalucesguy]

If you are a music instructor then you sure lack of proffesionalism.

[slipknotmetal66666]

han kim doesn't even have a descent fingering and his tone isn't even clear ,

this man in the video can play the piece 1000x more beautiful =)

[MusicJacob]

Your an idiot.

[tsaokhi]

Wahoo; une réference =) !!

[tsaokhi]

Do you play with a german clarinet?

[Guregory95]

the the clarinet has good ending and also the digital paper is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i want to do the circular breathing but i can't.

GOOD CLARINETIST

[edmondka]

probably the funnest piece to play :-)

[Sharmanator55]

heard some circular breathing

[33399buckweate]

Do you know how to do circular breathing? I have tried but I can't do it.

[Sharmanator55]

Nope. I know what it looks like though and I heard him doing it; the clarinetist was puffing his cheeks a bit to carry out that phrase on the last part of the first page like around 1:10 and 1:17. I really want to learn that! There are people that I've heard play "Flight of the Bumblebee" that do that breathing quite often.

[RedAndYellowCars]

i agree

[candylandcrusade]

love it love it love it!!!!!!

i'm working on this piece for college and you play it beautifully! i hope to do as well as you have. nice circular breathing too!

[clarinetistalavall]

The pianist ther have a digital paper?

[denils]

muy bueno!

[spiceyhotbj]

slow are you crazy? he was ahead of the piano for the first 32 meassures

[RedAndYellowCars]

yh right

[liangfan64]

a little too excessive in the movements?

but very very very nice tone, reminds of Julliard's Clarinets, thats what the world needs more of, more julliard clarinet sounds instead of the harsh, loud tones that ppl play with. uG, that dirves me insane hearing that tone....

[happykid323]

This guy went to Curtis dude...

[sanosoke1]

Beautiful playing

[claribole80]

et les articulations ?

[hotworship]

WOW this piece really inspires me so much!!! I'm working on Solo de Concours by H.Rabaud and Schumann Fantasy, and after those pieces, would it be appropriate for me to challenge this piece or is this too advanced?

[spiceyhotbj]

good luck!!

[RedAndYellowCars]

welll it is a dimploma piece and is very hard VERY HARD

[expressingmusicality]

Wow, this is a great performance! Thanks for sharing. I am learning this solo right now and watching this video really opened my eyes. The musicality of your playing was incredible.

[rankfrankrank]

Nice, awesome clarinetist and pianist. Look at all those grand pianos!

[LawlietShadow]

Zomgawd I want the scoreeeee! X)

[camourajunior]

camourajunior brilhante,maravilhoso,porém diferente em termos de andamento no que se refere ao Julien Bliss

[zurnacia]

Well:) An excellent performance. I just don't get why Messager finishes the tune on the Dominant, rather than the basic tone... But great playing!

[bran3839]

wow this is exactly what I have been looking for in a recording. Excellent!

[chocotastic]

Jesus Christ... that was damn near perfect for me. That's exactly the way I believe that peice should be played. Bravo! That was incredible.

[jazzgent]

Very nice performance.
