Weber concerto n.1, III mov - Sergio Bosi clarinet

[XxD3ADxTR33xX]

o gosh.. im doing this piece for a solo and thought i had it all good and all.. till i come and see sergio play and realize i still have ALOT of work to do! SERGIO IS AMAZING!

[XxD3ADxTR33xX]

o my... i wish i had that fast of a tounge..

[mrbigg151]

AMAZING!!! And he played it by MEMORY!!! smh, I've played this piece but NEVER in my dreams could I do it by memory

[MusicMajorClarinet]

dude that sucks .. i couldn't help to laugh when they started to clap after the cadenza. Great performance!!!!:D

[gigglegirlnoel]

I love Sergio. Wonderful player.

[claribole80]

beaucoup trop de manières ! c'est pénible.

[FrenkPmli]

suono fantastico , peccato che ora usi quel clarinetto insuonabile..

[pianofolle]

Ok guys, my premise is that i love this performance. BUT: isnt the recording a bit speeded up or am i being malicious?

please gimme ur opinion

[MrCharityconnection]

@pianofolle No, it doesn't sound like it was speeded up. I bet he can play that faster like a lot of other clarinetists, but what he did was about the right speed.

[Clarinett19VaLe]

Suona con un'estrema naturalezza!

Fantastico Maestro, davvero complimenti.

[vlooney89]

ah... his high notes are wonderful :)

[pietergrobler]

Not only does he play well but he treats us to a ballet spectacular!

[rollingstoneschick09]

this guy is amazing!! how does he have the whole thing memorized!!! i am playing this piece for my college music major audition, it is a diffucult piece of music for an 18 year old!!!

[vlooney89]

lol yeah I had a hard time memorizing it too! i took this solo to state competition last year. it killed me lol :P

[jaenclar]

puf...eso en mi tierra se llama estrozar el concierto!vaya sonido!!por no decir su patético estilo!anda q ya le vale al oboe!!!por favor clarinetistas...no toqueis como este tio!!!

[BlissfulPsychosis]

I like his little movement at 2:17. I thought he was looking at the time!

[roby84cda]

he's 34 years old

[Clarmanet]

does someone know his age??

[neoguy9090]

i love the body movements!

makes it so much more interesting.

[MasterMangi]

I love that piece=)

[urs1765]

stupid audience!!!! that proves they dont know much about the piece they listen too. besides its obvous that its not finished: the conducter doesnt put down his hands!!!nor did the orchestra put down their instruments!

[WhistleDownTheWind33]

hahaha i did this yesterday, people clapped at the fermata too! the soloist wasnt as good where i was though... i love this little dude hes like a little imp dancing around.

[mauric13]

Wow he's good. People shouldn't say how it should be played because everyone has their own style and of course people want to hear it how they are used to hearing how it's been played by someone else... If that made sence lol. Loved it

Love the part when the audience started clapping at the fermata in measure 124 (for those who have the music to it haha)

[xcracer2]

i love that part too. the Fermata always catches the audience by surprise.

[mauric13]

Hahah for real, people don't know that when the conductors hands go down to his sides, the song ends, atleast thats what I was tought.

[irontia89]

Dopo 12 anni che suono il clarinetto direi che l'interpretazione è una delle cose basilari della musica... soprattutto della musica classica che non ha parole ma ha solo una grande massa di emozioni... il suono è bello e molto centrato...l'unica pecca è la mano morta..mah..vabbè... per il resto è un ottimo clarinettista!!

[LaFemmeChocolat3]

I think he could put a bit more...playfulness (for want of a better word) into the music, particularly around 4:06 ....and it all seems to be as fast as he can possibly play it! Although at least he can play all the notes, which is more than I can do..

...bit of a problem actually as I'm supposed to be performing it on wed and again on sat.

[HIkeda126]

I personally like Sabine Meyer's recording of all the Weber pieces. Her tone and interpretation matches well with all of the pieces.

[thefunkychicken1]

This performer is a confident player, I like that he memorizes his pieces. His tone needs some work, not your typical Italian tone. It lacks warmth and center. His articulation could be better as well. Overall however, a good performer.

[HIkeda126]

Not to mention he moves WAY too much -_-'

[buxtehude07]

Vulgus profanum applåderar mitt i satsen. Dåligt.

[KALOS500]

ma la mano morta quando nn suona cosa sta a significare. BHOOOOO Solista 7 - Orchestra 4

[derhein2]

this is a very very good performance of the concerto. he plays very precisely just in time. The sound is great in all registers. This is a very professional record.

If you dont loke the movemet, dont look at it. You are not forced to look at your screen while listening to music. This is Opera! I think sometimes its very helpful to see how people move while playing. Some parts are ment ironic or funny, by the composer... or at least by the performer... you can easily see that in this record.

[EdDuMonde]

yikes! I just realized that my performances were a wee bit faster than Bossi... hmmm...

[EdDuMonde]

now, now, jobgobsob, my pedigree on this instrument is 41 years long, and I have played this concerto with orchestra and accompanist, and I find Bossi's performance refreshing and even a bit humorous at times. Surprisingly, this concerto seems to lend itself to some of his unique performance antics. I quite like it. I think you might too if you take a breath and give it some room to breath.

His tempo is quite nice. I believe he pushes properly and does not rush.

[jobgobsob]

He rushes a little. I am working on this song right now. The whole this when played with and ensemble is about 20 minutes. Very difficult. This guy is annoying dancing like a maniac.

[paolotrento]

...suono il clarinetto da 7 anni...credo che ognuno la senta in modo diverso la musica...i movimenti sono essenziali per compiere una buona esecuzione...ognuno si muove a modo suo...personalmente questa è una bella esecuzione ma manca di espressivutà in alcuni punti....ad esempio trovo che le note lunghe siano troppo statiche...

[Beeern81]

boohhhhh....sa di ninte

[pidomax]

La gestualità esagerata distoglie dalla Musica, il musicista deve essere al servizio della musica e non intrattenere il pubblico concentrando l'attenzione su di se. Esecuzione brillante forse anche troppo.

[Clarmanet]

i play the clarinet..and i can tell you for sure that sergio is an amazing player..

[dunklefucker]

brilliant! I need to find the music for this!

[davidesgo]

questo non è Carl Maria von Weber........ e questo non è un clarinettista da orchestra ma più da banda.

[montone62]

Sergio Bosi è un bravo clarinettista, peccato ci siano alcune imperfezioni nel finale. Commenti  negativi penso siano solo espressione d'invidia.........

[jesusfreakbandegeek]

I just played this movement at a recital, and I couldn't have played it that well standing still, let alone flailing around. Gah. It's frusturating how he can be good AND annoying at the same time.

[talon1812]

I agree.....What an irritating guy! I can't stand performers flailing and dancing all over the stage.

I am a professional musician and it does NOTHING to add to the music. To me, it's EXTREMELY distracting from the music.

[hoboishjoeishme]

Look at him 5:20-5:30 and particularly 5:27-5:28

[ceznight]

nice job...

like it

[niwana]

I think he adds the sense that suits Webers operratic music. He is very rythmical which is the essense of Weber's first concert.

[EricDolphy255]

Ahahaha very FUN!

[violinthief]

That was hilarious! He plays pretty well, though he sure ducks a lot of the tonguing, plus some notes towards the end. But the dancing just kills me. He even dances when he's not playing! And I'm not sure what to make of the limp wristed thing he's doing with his left hand whenever he's not playing.

[cellodude1]

A little odd. I play clarinet in addition to the cello and I know that it is very natural to move when you play. I don't judge a musician by how the video appears but by how it sounds.

[clairannette]

aaaaaaaAAAaaaAAAaaAAAAAAAHAHAH­AHAHAAAAAAAAAA... The thief has said it all.

[tentacle1984]

he does play the movement very well, I agree the movement is a little off putting. where I study we had a guest come in and play the RimskyK clarinet concerto and she moved about this much. i sat first chair and she was right next to me, it was hilarious!

[Spaklows]

Very good!!!clarinet excelent.

[robthereedman]

I think he's about 4'8" so he must move around this much for people to notice him. Not a bad player if you don't look at him...

[NihilismGod]

Moving around a little is okay...but this is a little over the top...

[bryan1198]

por k le hace como gay o es que es gay jajajaja

[klarinetta]

Hehe dancing around. He doesn't move a lot. At least this is much more fun to watch than players frozen in place. He does it very well. It's strange that clarinetist can't move a little unless everybody here on youtube complain.

[oldjarhead]

His stage antics are really off putting...and he doesn't play that well.  Any American conservatory student does better than that!

[ostumenrui]

totally agree

i understand a little moving around, but this was really distracting

[LaFemmeChocolat3]

lol. i dont get how people can dance around so much when theyr playing. hes good tho.
