[gigglesmini]

he played the song great! but i blame the writer for the cadanza, it just sounds like random notes

[gorgiax]

Bravo Mauricio!! que bueno escucharte, aunque sea con unos años de retraso. Muchos éxitos y un abrazo desde Caracas.

[Jhoan392]

Un barazo mauricio.. he escuchado muchas veces el concierto... Una ves mas mis cinceras felicitaciones, eres una gran perona y exelente clarinetista.

[alexluvsgreysonchanc]

trhats not just a clarinet in his solo is it

[SuperCMajor]

:-0 and to believe i used to think the Solo de Concours by messeger was difficult...i wanna play this, but i don't know if i could even comprehend it...haha

[banshee9312]

buena tecnica, esa pieza es dificil peroo veo que se te facilita,

tambien toco clarinete

[banshee9312]

muy bien

eres alumno del maestro hector pinzon?

[mauriciomurcia]

estudie con Degennaro en bogota, ahora estudio con jon manasse...

[shishirth]

That was a very fine performance as soloist

[Pedroalexis84]

Felicidades por el concierto ... seguro uno de los mas dificiles escritos para la clarinete!

si me puedo permitir de darte unos consejos seria de que sea mas flexible (dificil de pedir esto en un concierto asi) las cadenzias .. quizas mas tranquilo y no tan agitado (es facil de criticar pero al hacerlo es dificil, este concierto tambien lo he tocado y es terrible!) mucha suerte! .. saludos de un clarinetista peruano en Francia

[mauriciomurcia]

muchas gracias pedro, bueno, ya esto fue hace un par de añitos atras, se han corregido muchisimas cosas si... de todas maneras muchisimas gracias por el consejo....

[jzzlvrmee]

This is in concert B, isn't it??

[iwanabana]

superb intonation, sound quality and fingering technique!!! however, it seems that most of the D and E above the middle C are a tiny bit flat than the rest of the notes.

[MICHaeLDIZZLE]

One hell of a piece to premiere on with orchestra. Excellent job. And yes, unfortunate about the trumpet player at 4:06 hahah.

[MICHaeLDIZZLE]

by the way, good job on bar 34, most people play the mistake that's written in most editions, glad to see some one did their research on this piece.

[Tonbery0]

4:06 haha oops...

[christofdev]

Magnifique !!! 5*

[MICHELMUSIK123]

Voilà de la clarinette comme je l'aime

Belle interprétation

[shekicar]

rc prestige, 100 procent, fantastik.........bravo

[chocotastic]

It's only a small thing, but does anyone else agree with me that the tounging lick Mauricio does at 4:23 is just absolutely awesome?

[nilsmarius]

Great techniques as fingering and thounging goes. May I suggest you use a bit more air on the soft parts? You tend to die a little bit in piano.. Overall: Ace performance!

[Ickisaur]

Your tone is to die for!

GREAT performance! ^.^

[ErikaFrancisValdez]

AWESOME~!!? XDDD LOL~!!!

[clarinetboy14]

I'm 14. I play the clarinet. I'm going into highschool (9th grade) next year... I am good... (not trying to be selfabsorbed, or vein) I can play concertos by mozart, and others, and yadayada...

[clarineteclub]

Bravo Bravo isso é um ser exelente meu Deus pare do Céu,,,é de mais.........

[adlibidum]

Gracias por contestar. Soy también clarinetista, originario de Valencia aunque vivo en el norte. Sin duda tienes rasgos puramente indígenas raciales, te hice el comentario solo como curiosidad, ya que Bedoya está entre las montañas llamadas Los Picos de Europa, cerca de Potes, zona de mucho indiano (emigrantes a las indias) y aunque diluida, alguna gotita de sangre española tendrás. Soy clarinetista también, y estoy en contacto con clarinetistas franceses y españoles. Espero conocernos.

[mauriciomurcia]

claro que si, tal vez este en el festival de clarinete de la ICA en porto este año.

muchos exitos

[jonhadas]

bravo! i'm a clarinet player as well. good luck in the future!

[adlibidum]

Si, es verdad, excelente clarinetista. Me gustaría saber qué orquesta es y de donde son. Al solista no le conozco, pero su segundo apellido proviene del norte de España, donde estoy viviendo yo ahora. Concretamente de la zona de Potes (Cantabria), por curiosidad, alguien puede informarme de donde es el solista. Gracias.

[mauriciomurcia]

muchas gracias por el comentario. soy de colombia, y es la orquesta filarmonica de bogota (la capital). raices españolas mas bien lejanas, eso si bien indigena si, mi papa es del sur del pais (huila) y mi mamá del centro norte de colombia (antioquia), y yo naci en el pacifico (Valle del Cauca) .

[kantalope]

where is the sheet music for this? I want to play it sooo badly, but i can;t find it anywhere

[vicenttoba]

es buenisimo la obra y el solista es impresionante saludos a todos los clarinetistas del mundo

[sgrl]

You people are hilarious, this is pretty much the most difficult clarinet Concerto written to date. Great job! I intend to play this at my next Graduate recital and I hope that it goes as well as this performance. :)

[dabibbler]

A little rough 2:33 - 2:49 , but otherwise an amazing job!

[FuzzyElephant37]

Oh my god...I say that a lot! But he is A-maaaazing! BRAVO!!!!!!! But, just commenting here, everyone i have seen moves their clarinet around when they play! lol

[FeBlandMusic]

First class!

[misi1979]

Bravissimo!

[william221221]

your performance is excellent!!

In Taiwan , this masterpiece doesn't perform usually.

[juaco9292]

ecxelente interpretacion men me encanta mucho todo el concierto pero en especial el allegro att: juancho-viola batuta y me puedes hacer un favor y le mandas saludos a julian el violista de la orquesta que aunque tuve como 3 clases con el en la bogota que aprendi demasiado como manejar el arco.... y mas gracias XD

[kickasstaco]

Greatness! Amazingness!! BRAVO!!!

Seems Very Diffucult Exspecially to my standards (high school) lol

[klarinetta]

It's very difficult on the Bb clarinet as written but played on the A clarinet it would be much easier.

[xcracer2]

very good. jean francaix is not an easy one to play.

[clarvince]

Mauricio, I have just one word for you:

BRAVO!!!

[kathica1021]

hui mauricio tas bn lindo...

[mauriciomurcia]

muuuchisimas gracias...jejejej

[xyzabc66]

wow your amazing better than me! i need to start practicing more! :]

[overlord1294]

Wow, you technique is excellent as well as your staccatos, also i was wondering is this piece more technically challenging than the nieslen concerto?

[claslow]

it's pleasing to hear thru earphone! great musician! you are.,

[oldjarhead]

A very fine performance! And the video quality is terrific. Thanks for sharing this great music with us.

[humbertsin1994]

What clarinet is he using? Is it a Buffet Crampon RC Prestige or is it the Festival?

[clarinetBC20]

Fantastique, timbre extra , d'une grande homogénéité, détaché extraordinaire, articulation, un des meilleurs clarinettiste actuels

What model of clarinet?

[mauriciomurcia]

RC prestige....  Thank you for your comment ...

[buffetcrampon93]

What's with the tie?

[ayuprnkcller]

Where is this concert hall?

[alejocello]

Is in Bogotá, Colombia. The Venue's name is "Auditorio León de Greiff" at "Universidad Nacional de Colombia"

[TopSchotter]

A lovely concerto! Demonstrates the character of the instrument as well as the viruosity of the performer by using a key that not many clarinetists would readily play in! Well done Mr Murcia, well done indeed! The orchestra deserves a well done as well.

[clarinettistes]

Fénomenal!! Me encanta este concerto GRACIAS

a este solista por el concierto ESTUPENDO.

[Misterate]

2019tiger, just because the writing is tougher than normal standards does not mean the composer is not knowledgeable of the capabilities of the instrument. This is a fantastic concerto, and the sound of the clarinet absolutely completes it

[buffetcrampon93]

You have such a great tone, and you are doing a great job showing the character of this piece!

[ipmoic]

Dear 2019tiger. I agree that all of Francaix' clarinet writing is tough. The wind quintet and the clarinet and strings quintet are both a challenge. This concerto is visually disconcerting--how we hate to play in B major! (Try it on the A clarinet in C major--it will LOOK easier) But Mr. Murcia makes the clear case that this piece is well worth the effort.

[ayuprnkcller]

Great performance on a challenging piece!

[TheOverlordDale]

What type of mouthpiece do you play on? My friend just moved to Colombia from the US, and is having trouble adjusting.

[mauriciomurcia]

I use B40 traditional mouthpiece.

where is your friend living right now?

let me now, maybe I can help him. if he is living in bogota right there is really hard to adapt with reeds...because of the weather.

[TheOverlordDale]

I apologize for my delayed response...internet troubles...

He moved to Colombia from South Florida. He was having some clarinet and reed troubles, and said that he was looking at a B40 mouthpiece. I was wondering what a professional such as yourself in the area played on.

Thank you very much for your assistance, and I will find out specifically where he is in Colombia.

[2019tiger]

this cocerto is not worth the effort the composer does not know the instrument.

[2019tiger]

this cocerto is not worth the effort the composer does not know the instrument.

[LesChameliers]

Wow. This is a truly amazing performance. I just recently got the music to this and I almost cried when I saw the score! This is downright heroic. Thanks for posting!

[ipmoic]

This is a brilliant show of technical mastery and stylish, musical playing. Only the slow movement could use better breath control and a more singing, unhurried line. Many professionals (including myself) would be hard pressed to play this as masterfully as you have done. Bravo and a wonderful international future to you.

[mauriciomurcia]

thank you so much for your comment, the previous night to this performance I was sick that's why on the second movement I didn't have much air, and also bogota is 2.300 meters over the sea level; it makes your reed so different.

thank you so much for enjoy my videos.

[hotworship]

This piece is very amazing. Jean Françaix and Poulenc are known as very technically difficult piece. I would like to give a grand applause to this gentleman. thank you for sharing your performance on youtube. this is the only recording of Jean Françaix concerto with orchestra. thank you very much.

[mauriciomurcia]

thank you so much. I really appreciate to your comment.

[MusicontheBrain247]

wow, awesome sound and articulation!

[TheOverlordDale]

I could comment on the brilliance of this performance and the incredibility of the technique of the clarinetist all day.

Simply put, spectacular.

[IheartPeteWentz00]

I've been playing the clarinet for 2 and a hlaf years or so.. and daaaaaang......there's only three clarinet players in our school's band. and we couldnt even sound half that good!!!! lol

[iClarinetzero]

oh cool

I am also from colombia, and I play the clarinet to, but i live in norway.....

you are soo amazing!

[Symphonia08]

Incredible! One day I hope to achieve the same standard of playing. Completely inspiring, thank you so much

[dongcheol1]

Bravo!!Excellent you are great man

[MiyokoxClarinetti]
