[chaomingmusic]

yang tong, can you contact me???

I I am Chao-Ming. I lost your mail.....sorry!

[johnnyguano]

My experience with music is mostly as a listener... I get the impression that this piece demands an unusual amount from the listener's musical memory to sound coherent... do you agree with that assessment, or is there more I'm missing?

[Tongsax]

Yes you are right.You probably can find more references from another series of Sequenza for solo instrument or vocal by Berio (Suchas sequenza V or 3 etc...)

[raypizzi]

..... Fantastic Performance.

[kelleypb2008]

What utter rubbish...

[insanelollipop]

It's very good and all but not exactly...entertaining. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure there are people who would like to sit and er.. listen to... this "music".

[futurecav2008]

Amazing! very interpretive. If the jocks at my school heard this, they would think it was just noise. It makes me angry for people not to get it...

[arminplus]

Very good interpretation!I'm an oboe player,I played already many times this work and I can clear see that you are plaing what THE COMPOSER WROTE!

For any others,please more respect and more study on the musical details !!!This is saxophone NOT oboe !!!The H note effects are very well done,regarding that you play an saxophone.The technical variations great and in place made.Congratulations.Great job !!!!

[luisalvaz]

anyone who can play Berio's sequenzas deserves all my respects

[thegoodgeneral]

Fantastic performance. Maestro Berio is an amazing composer, and the performer has great control over his instrument, though I don't think that Berio would've minded if he had jerked us a bit more around.

I'm overall surprised at how VII and VIIb sound as though they're on the same instrument. Now THAT is expert instrumentation, hahaha. Have you heard the sequenza for double bass? Underplayed and simply an amazing construct of music.

[gsco82]

Too experimental and 'free' for my taste, but clearly the saxophonist shows some talent in a few of the phrases.

[iwanttowatchsomethin]

I'm glad you put 'free' in quotes as Berio's compositions are quite rigorous both in the manner in which they are composed and in the demands they place on performers. Yet, the music does sound as though it could have been improvised by a very unusual improvisor

[cholapat]

Sorry, but you should have done some research before making this comment.

In this sequenza, Berio indicates exactly how many second each measure or even some certain sounds shoud be played.

The word "Free" is not at all discribing this music.

[Yetti332]

You want made me believe that this thing is music?

oh, the poor conservatory's students....

[cholapat]

No, we don't want to make you believe in anything.

[daikke2000]

Good idea to record this beautiful piece, but I do think the most interesting image would be the fingers on the instrument.

[cholapat]

You are exactly right... because of the poor camera, we cannot see much of his fingering... anyway, he did use fingerings indicates on the score by Berio.. you can try to do some research for the score.
