Stanley Drucker: Weber Concertino for Clarinet & orchestra

[omarbelicocancoes]

Quando uma orquestra com um concertista desse nível toca Mozart dessa maneira,com extrema perfeição, a gente consegue perceber a presença de Deus

[samuel9599]

megusta la interpretacion muy buen clarinetista

[xingfan1227]

i don't necessarily agree with some his interpretations, but he's surely a great great performer, and his performance is very exciting to watch and listen.

[dkmarkdj]

He is killing Weber... I don't like it at all...

[WorldChampBandgeek]

pretty good. without all the vibrato's it would have been nice.

[veezbokumar]

what the hell, the vibrato's are his interpretation...without them, this piece would basically sound like all the others on Youtube

[theman9126]

i wanna see andrew marriner performing this....

[aweitzer1]

@theman9126 last year i saw him playing the mozart clarinet concerto with neville marriner conducting :)))

[nedemi]

hmmmmmmm,

but not for 1st chair.

today highschool child can do it like this.

even beeter.

I mean, the man has problem with rhithm.

and technical too.

??????

maby he was god in his time but not in time of this video.

[veezbokumar]

could you point out a specific time he actually had problems with technical stuff and rhythm

[Sharmanator55]

Around 7:09 to 7:12, my mom was able to tell that he missed a note there!!!!!! She, by the way, is not a Classical Musician at all and she has not been trained!!! o______o

[Sobesam11]

Out of that whole performace, that is what you decide to comment on?

[michaelrusman]

sure he is a virtuoso, but don't like it

[peterd05]

His vibrato is really awkward.

[frykusley]

OTTENSAMER, FUCHS, SCHMIDL, BRANDHOFER.....

BUT STANLEY DRUCKER IS A LEGEND IN CLARINET WORLD, HE IS A FANTATASTIC PLAYER IN AMERICAN STYLE.

THANKS MR. DRUKER I'D LIKE to PLAY 1/10 LIKE YOU.

I APOLOGIZE MY PREVIOUS COMMENTS ABOUT STANLEY DRUCKER.

[klarinetta]

Drucker and Stoltzmann have one thing in common. Mechanical vibrato!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GinobiliRules101]

I'm not a fan of this piece, but damn, Stanley Drucker nailed it

[oldjarhead]

He's really not using a vibrato...it's just that his 72 year old chops are a bit enfeebled and unsteady! His retirement is timely!

[theman9126]

when this was recorded he wasnt more than 50

[bene951]

He was 60 in this recording...

[theman9126]

breathtaking.....he is the andrew marriner of the weber concertino......and for all you guys who are disagreeing with the vibratos, go jump off a cliff....he plays them like they're meant to be there....

[klarinetta]

Please don't compare him to Andrew Marriner. Marriner is miles away better :)

[bene951]

Maybe now, but that's just because Stanley is 80 and Marriner is in his prime. Few clarinet players ever compare to Stanley in the 60s and 70s...

[clarinetgeek7299]

this is by far the best recording ive ever heard of this, even though im not a fan of vibrato on the clarinet either.

do you realize how much of a prodigy he is? he became principal clarinet of the nypo when he was 19!! and he just retired, finishing (im pretty sure) his 60TH year as the principal clarinet!

my mind cant even fathom a person being that good for so long. hes just amazing, def. one of the greatest clarinet players around.

[Major0rgan]

actually, he was in the ny philharmonic since he was 19 but wasn't given first chair until he was around 30.

[notareaver]

this is a testament to why I don't like the way Drucker plays. never have.

[theman9126]

dude.......go blow on a basset horn.....if you can't appreciate the ability of the *ahem second best clarinet player in history (andrew marriner is no1 in my opinion) don't watch him play

[klarinetta]

You don't do your favorite clarinet player any favor by comparing him to Stanley!!!!!!!!!!!!

[musicmaniac3]

this piece is so fun to play. It is very challenging. I had to play this for my honors band tryouts. They took 28 clarinets and 96 auditioned. I made it! This is by far the best version of concertino that I have heard.

[thedrillmaster16]

He is surely amazing! I just don't understand why professionals take solos so fast, yes it is impressive, but in my own opinion, it takes away from the musical integrity of a piece. Also, I'm not a big fan of all the vibrato on the clarinet. Though, this is amazing and Stanley surely is one of the paramount clarinet players of this century!

[robbiewillrock]

im pretty sure the clarinet doesnt play with vibrato. which is what he sounds like he"s doing.

[0673235]

watch manuel gangl playing weber concertino

[Homdoc]

I'm afraid about this version...no musical breathings...only two ways of articulation: legato or staccato. No phrasing...uf...increible...

[chessteam]

Wow dude, i hope you have some musical abilities to show because this guy gets paid for every minute hes on stage(exageration). The First of all this is a solo piece and open to Interpretation.

Second: this the best video of this piece on youtube.

Third: the breathing part, man like i said i hope you know music, because i have the piece and breathing is very limited when you have 12 measures of slurred or tongued 16th notes.

[chessteam]

Further more there are only four types of articulation Legato, Staccato, Legato over staccato and slurred staccato, unless you would like to include accent and marccato, but where there are those he plays them.

Go take a rain check you have no idea what your talking about.

[bene951]

Um... there is certainly phrasing... actually, he phrases so much that he fills it with this totally unique character that is totally Stanley Drucker... talk about the most musical fingers in the biz. Maybe the man doesn't sound like Robert Marcellus in terms of tone when he plays, but he can bring a heck of a lot more spirit than anybody I've heard when he plays something...

[Novum07]

¿Que te parece si subes un video tuyo tocando esa misma pieza? leyendo tus palabras no creo que tengas problema en hacerlo ¿o sí?

[jarson69]

Es cierto que Stanley Drucker se va a retirar en un año??? cómo sabéis dicha información? gracias.

[jarson69]

Amazing!

[prudkyjoe]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

[astaroth99]

I just got this piece today...oh joy i love a good musical challenge and this is one that i will enjoy very much.

[ppdgl66]

collons! quina manera de desafinar no la esperava jo de Drucker

[Novum07]

No escuché el desafinado que dices; pero aún así, creo a cualquiera le puede pasar.

[tonomorotoko]

chvr el video!! pero pongan mas conciertos para clarinete!!! hay muchoas mas este ia es muy conocido

[andkimi]

no lo puedo ver porque no carga.yo lo estoi tocando tambien.yo no un amigo q soi yo soi un amigo del chico que tiene esta cuenta y estoi tocando el concertino de weber.ala.caralludo!!

[Izco19]

Pascual, eres tu quien ha escrito esto?? Sería muy fuerte, ocupando puesto que tienes. Sin embargo,lo seas o no, estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Al menos en lo que respecta a esta interpretación, aunque reconozco que yo no soy quien para criticar a un clarinetista de renombre como Stanley. Pero es que toca Weber como si de Copland se tratase, bueno, bastante más brusco incluso. Independientemente, todos mis respetos para este clarinetista, tan solo se trata de una opinión personal. Saludos

[Clariperu]

Pascual no ha escrito el comentario que leíste Izco, alguien más entró en su cuenta en YouTube y escribió dicho comentario, un poco fuerte. Por ese motivo hemos removido el texto, ya que sabemos que no fue Pascual quien lo escribiera.

[thanksmoo]

very nice indeed...!!!

it's a pity - drucker is retiring next year... hats off to him!

[nataclarinet]

Great, great!!
