[venskus2009]

[dragonlover341]

It sounds different from the spring we are playing. o.O

[SadielCuentas]

hey that was great!

[MrEriesal]

It appears there are few music lovers in this part of the world.

[mangosinmypants59]

where do you get the sheet music

[rokquartet]

The music is in Clariperu, and a direct link is posted in the info next to this video (score and individual parts). Have fun!!

[lilmisshev69]

absolutely brilliant brought tears to my eyes. this is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time and i long to reach a level where i can do it justice on the clarinet. well done and thanks or shareing

[theblueTACO]

Absolutely beautiful.

[cervantespr]

You need an alto piece heheheh cuz i play the alto clarinet :)

[flyboy8492]

just posted my response of me playing it.

[dreamingofreality3]

I love this on the clarinet. I don't like how it sounds on violin. :D

[gatodelaciudad]

Absolutely loved it... summer is my favorite though, the third movement.

I wish I could try this at home, but I don't know how to read music :(

Great job!

[saxonetophonist]

It was so smooth and profesional, that was brilliant! Well played!

[Shrimpfriedricegirl]

my friends and i played this for solo and ensemble this year!! we were good but not good enough...... we had a very much simplified version a lot easier than this one!

[flyboy8492]

which state? I live in Ohio

[violinthief]

A pleasure to hear this with clarinets! It would have been nice to hear all of the solo notes in the right octave, however.

[Horseplase]

ヴィヴァルディ×クラリネットという新たなジャンルの開拓。

[boxerboy847]

absolutely fantastic. I loved how real the performance was. You can tell that you each enjoy playing for the sake of playing and making such beautiful music.

[liamblackere]

hi can i get the mp3 so i can use it in my dove magic routine

[the8t88]

This Awesome! :-D

[SieltjeM]

Wauw, jullie zijn geweldig!

[lolbolletje]

nobody is putting money on =( 10 euro from me ;P

[MusikzugDietenhofen]

5 Euros in you hat! *g*

[dmgilbert1984]

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed you could play that song on clarinets, you guys are awesome!!

[rokquartet]

Thank man!

[jazu40]

WOW, what a beautiful street performance. Of course it is EUROPE. I live in Canada. If four guys like you would go out on street and play, they would get arrested by cops.

[rokquartet]

Thanks for you comment! Here in Belgium is the same business with the police, but we had a special permission to play in the street, so this a "legal performance". Thanks for watching.

[CalogeroLino]

eccezionale

[bobstronge]

EXELLENT!!!

[ajm909]

we played this piece for a school recital. we had a quartet and as the other person stated, it is harder on a violin.

[diewinterreise]

Bravo！ wonderful play！ Do you have published CD?

[attffgg]

oh god, gent!!!! simply wonderful city! the most warm, welcoming place i've seen in europe so far...lots of quality beer, women, and people are easy to get along. ah, memories.....

nice performance guys! keep going

[RosesArentRed]

Was there someone whistling?

[marcomazzini]

yes, and in one of the other videos somebody is singing along...thanks for your comment!

[barbarrubia]

very good. Excellent

[Silverfind]

At 0:52 the old lady was funny. Idk why but when I saw her, it was just funny.

[Shironi10]

shit.. why am i living in a city where there is no street musicians! maybe sometimes you can meet them on old city, but i have never met a street performer outside of old city in Warsaw... sheee... Iwould like to live in London or Gent.. buee.... I'm soo sad...

but your music is soo cool! thanks for what you do :D

[whatsanobeen]

This is amazing! I would love to try this or even see someone try this in the streets of New York City.

[marcomazzini]

Maybe one day we will pass by new York to play around...such a beautiful city! Thanks for your comment (I play the bass clarinet in the quartet)

[Frakoukou]

très beau !! Bravo a vous ;) se qui est magnifique c'est que tout le monde est se sent obligé de regarder car c'est tellement beau comme musique et très bien interpreté Good lock pour la suite!

[carmenanime]

from 2:43-3:05 is REALLY hard on the 1 clarinet!!omg!! so you know what 10 gold stars for you! :D

[Silverfind]

Do it on violin, and you will realise it's 100times harder.

[N3PTUN3x7]

damn straight

[jvaleriojd]

i tried to get a download of your musical score but could not find it on the web site. Can you tell me how to get the parts?

JV

[marcomazzini]

Well, read the information next to the video, you will find an e-mail where you can request the individual parts - the link to download the score is there too! Thanks for watching.

[panicatmydisco88]

wow, that's really annoying.

[rokquartet]

Ha, ha, ha!!! Thanks anyway for your comment!

[christoffff]

I think what he means is this - it is very annoying to see footage of building and just hear the performers. it sort of undermines them and makes them have less of an impact. I found that really annoying too. Nice music, nice performance, shoot the editor.

[nataclarinet]

how funny, I feel the opposite: cool video showing the city - I love Gent!

[tiradojj]

wonderful, very nice to lisent something differente from the violin sound. Congratutlations, continue doing happy the people who hear you.

[Angeliquess]

Merveilleusement bien joué,

Très bien filmé,

Très beau montage,

Que dire de plus,

La perfection est là =)

[rokquartet]

merci!!!!

[LongFeiHung]

FANTÁSTICO!

[omarmexico1]

LOL! NO ONE GIVES YOU MONEY GUYS?? OMG u played so good, they should give you guys some money haa'? lol goood song

[normadoimai]

Bravoo!!!

[rokquartet]

[zprussian]

RCRI: Felicidades comadre, super bien por ti y tus amigos.

[saxoclar]

If you haven't listen to Eddie Daniels own version "Vivaldi and the Five Seasons" then you're really missing out. It's great!!!!

[rokquartet]

The Five seasons is a well known Cd for clarinetist, and as you say, it's great! Thanks for your comment

[0Anime0Lover0]

I love this song!!! WELL DONE IT WAS HELLA PERFECT!

[BandNazi]

This is soooo amazing!!! ^^

[keinylos]

i like that cool

[cuicuimusic]

I can't believe how good it sounds. The solo(s) are flawless. straight in favs, 5 stars, suscribed. I hope you will have all the success you deserve !

[rokquartet]

That's very motivating cuicuimusic, we will try soon to come back with more videos (we didn't have the time to film other pieces). Keep in touch!

[clarinetfreak08]

Wow!! This is a great arrangement (and your group sounds wonderful.) Who arranged/published it???

[rokquartet]

Thanks clarinetfreak08! As you can read at the right side, all the arrangements were made by Marco Mazzini (bass clarinet) specially for this project. If you want to try this at home with some friends, we can send you all the parts. There is a link to download the score too. These publications are public domain (as Marco wants it so).

[pureclarinet]

I wonder, for how long are you guys playing together? I'm quite impress by each of your performances!

[ShivaIceCold]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. An extremely accurate and accomplished performance. Keep up the great work, you guys!

[rokquartet]

Thanks ShivaIceCold!!!

[msjvariety]

OK. you got me with vivaldi. :)

Stech

[rokquartet]

glad to hear that!

[ilbofilms]

$ min and 32 seconds of sheer delight. What amazes me is the indifference of the passing folks. It was the same when I played the street with a jazz group. They are there for a different purpose and cannot seem to open up. Too bad!

[rokquartet]

Judging from these videos, we agree with you Ibofilms. People are just passing by - it was a Wednesday and early in the afternoon. But honestly, every weekend we had a large audience, and very often the same people came back to attend our "street concert". It was a pity we couldn't film one of those weekend days! Next time....

[valvetrom]

absolutely delightful, also the video,

the name rok quartet would have not enticed me to listen. So thankyou for the invitation.H (c:

[rokquartet]

You are very welcome valvetrom! By the way, "ROK" is an Icelandic word that means "strong wind"... thanks for watching.

[valvetrom]

My Islandic is rusty, do you know the  5 seasons by Eddie Daniels??

[rokquartet]

ha, ha! Ours too... of course we know the 5 seasons by Eddie Daniels. He is just great.

[valvetrom]

anybody interested in a LaFleur Full Boehm clarinet??

[jltei]

Keep on Roking!!

[violettarosalba]

I like the four seasons, and like the performance, great quartet¡

[psalm1210102]

Lovely performance. Bravo!!!

[pureclarinet]

I just saw the wedding...Gent has so much life!

[pureclarinet]

I love Gent too, what a wonderful city. You have done a great job showing the city with your wonderful performance. Five stars!

[pureclarinet]

Again congratulations, you are truly first class players!

[rokquartet]

ha, ha...thanks flyingcutie!!

[flyingcutie]

Great job to all of you! I wish I could throw lots of money in the basket. :)

[luclee]

Bravo! It's a perfect performance again!
