Kazem Abdullah Performs Copland Clarinet Concerto - Part 2

[DarkLeprechaun89]

super solid, esp. for a public performance. I'm jealous of the high notes.

My only real gripe with this performance is that it's kind of slow. Also, swung eighth notes in the laid back section? I politely disagree.

But yeah, props for doing it memorized!

I suspect that if my orchestra do this, I will be sat at the piano.... that I do not look forward to. Fabulous job here though, lovely tone in the opening.

AWESOME!

[IMASIANSNIPA]

Cwawieeeeenetttt~~~~

[maitpbaeus]

[Judingo]

Wondeful playing! Makes me really nervous, I'm playin this real soon..........

[phantomeric44]

It's great but it sounds like your reed might be too thin... Thumbs up :) this is certainly my second favorite to the Stoltzman :)

[phantomeric44]

so are you.

[sunlaser]

hmm... i would play a little faster in the beginning... and your tone is a little bright, but otherwise good job!

[arturoleonardo147]

Amazing!!!! I love how the even your highest notes are still very dark. :D Excellent JOB!!!

[PFCArmijo1989]

Excellent. Very impressed that you memorized it too.

[crdstenhouse]

Love the interpretation! Wouldn't change a thing, and won't!

[DarkLeprechaun89]

Awesome performance!

Two things: the chirping was kind of distracting, but reed and nerves will do that to you.

Secondly, I just kind of disagreed with how you did some of the cadenza stuff... but that's all subjective. V. nice.

[gadetracing]

He has no nice warm sound to it..

[Heyjohn843]

Amazing performance. And such a great concerto!

[mcnamaray]

nice cadenza! I like how you ended all the phrases.

[licoricestic]
