Young Gideon...An AMAZINGLY PERFORMED piece! It's all too easy for you; you could be distracted while keeping the music on track and maintaining just the right tone and nuance. You're beyond miraculous--if you could only peek to see how your sax will help you to have a very special life, then surely you'd very happy now! Everyone is rootin' for ya!!
it sounds static. theres very little movement. not saying that he is rubbish at all, but he is not mature enough to produce the warmer sounds that is needed for a piece of music like that,
come on, the kid is 8 years old, wrote the piece himself and is performing on national TV. It's not one of those kids doning some trick his/her parents came up with.
saxmaster and meamfood, you have GOT to be kidding me.
saxmaster, i hope your comment was sarcastic... this kid is obviously extremely gifted.
meamfood, i watched one of your videos and you don't know what you're talking about, your solo was awful and you could NOT have written this. normally i wouldn't insult someone, but you are arrogant and you need a reality check.
...and 13 is 5 years older than 8. that is a huge difference in music, imo.
I don't think it's just alright. It's really great. It's a big challenge to give a concert with one of dutch best windbands, especially when you're only 8 years old, in the greatest hall in The Netherlands, the Concertgebouw. And live on television and radio, really many people watch this concert at the 1st of january (I usually do). And he composed it himself! It's really great to be able to do that at this age.
I'm not a saxophonist, but I think he does a great job, as a trumpet-player.
Well, I can´t imagine you to be a good saxophonist for you need to diss a young boy playing the sax f***ing great for his age. I, as another saxophonist, say that this is great for such a young boy. Most kids don´t even start playing the sax in this age, they still prefer other toys, as you may have. He is not perfect or something, but I think he´s on the way to a damn good musician... I do really like this performance! More of these parents supporting musically talented kids!
I'm not dissing it, I'm talking about after listening to some other stuff! I think it's amazing but he just doesn't move or anything, but I suppose that's a lot to ask from an 8 year old
Wow! Kenny G really isn't a disgrace! I just saw him live and got to talk to him for a minute two and he really is a nice guy. Sorry for that comment I need to know his other songs rather than songbird.
P.S. This guy can rock a Tenor man! Yes! Kenny G plays Tenor!
It's a soprano not a sopranino . a "curved soprano saxophone"
