Amethyst Quartet - "Six Bagatelles" - Ligeti - Mvt. 1

[polszik]

it's like musica ricercata's third movement

[JylesM]

Why did the baritone player slap tongue the last note? The original part would never have called for that, whether you're looking at the woodwind quintet or piano/organ version.....

[MarksSax]

btw...just wondering...what are you using for alt. D on sop? ( from alt. A... "1-3| tc" ?)

[jkjimmy]

@somespongebobfan uhhhhh wtf?

[MarksSax]

Damn Johnny...that's some bad ass soprano playing.

[saxburns]

Ligeti condoned this arrangement, originally done by the Habanera Saxophone Quartet

[ohlordbabyjesus]

This literally enraged me. Arranged for saxophones? Blasphemy!

[dressedtosmellgood]

i liked that arrangement.

[saxosauro]

Not bad but a little bit expressionless.

[quelasol]

Outstanding playing and ensemble! I have mixed feelings about the transcription, but I guess if you're gonna disregard the sounds he wanted, you might as well do justice to the character, and these guys certainly do...

[chazums1898]

you mean, as opposed to piano?

[alemsk86]

bravo superbe interprétation! Connaissez vous le quatuor habanera?

[claviolino]

the slap tongue on the last note has not ruined it!!i liked it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bravi!! thank you for sharing, northwestern21

[crazeelilone]

WOW. This is SO clean! Way to go!

[RandomSaxGuy]

For the most part it sounds great, but why did you decide to add slap articulations to the bari part(this goes for the entire piece)?

[Brewcholo]

@RandomSaxGuy Especially the last note!

[martiniboy64]

it's sounds so good for 4 sax !! very nice interpretation

[powellpicc1985]

Interesting...I'm not sure I like the arrangment (though I might be a little biased because I'm a flutist), but you sure play it well!

[HIkeda126]

I agree. To me, it just doesn't do justice as a wind quintet would be able to bring. Also, a bit biased since I'm a clarinetist.

Asides that, props to Northwestern University for a fine sax quartet.

[Michigansax]

Don't hate.

[HIkeda126]

I'm not hating. I dunno where that came from...

[Michigansax]

Haha. I know you weren't hating. It's just that I personally have not heard a wind 5tet play this piece as well as these guys.

[bassman462]

Carion did an amazing job with this piece, there was video on youtube of them doing it, and it was this tight.

[nintendosuperfreak]

great job!!!
