Quintessence Saxophone Quintet Plays Bach: Fudge Fugue

The Quintessence Saxophone Quintet in its quintessential line-up plays J.S.Bach's Fugue in G Minor. This arrangement of a famous Bach piece ist the lucky charm of the band, giving them great success. It is indeed a fine showpiece of musicianship. At last you can enjoy a up-to-date version of the fugue, recorded last year at the CD release party for the "Vivaldi's Five Seasons" in April 2008.

You all gave an AMAZING performance at the Saxophone Symposium. I was hoping you would play the Toccata and Funk chorale and when I heard the fugue for the first time it blew me away! Hope to see you back next year

@ChairInTheSky Thanks, ChairInTheSky! We really enjoyed playing for you all and hope to have made an impression- WE WANT TO PLAY LOADS OF GIGS IN THE STATES!

@24262748 Yeah, thanks! J.S.Bach wrote the piece, Uli arranged it for us. My beard what just a whim to attract attention, of course! Sometimes I wear a wig and on other times I've been seen smiling- of course JUST to attract attention. In my first life, I was a worm- now I'm on stage, of course- just to be noticed. That why I AM.

@GeneralDAS Why, thank you for you comment, GeneralDAS. Just let me aid you in your somewhat disrupted perception of the word "legitimate" The members of our ensemble were all born after 1960. Baroque music has long since been conserved in cans and packed away. We adore Bach and we have found a legitimate way to play his music. I presume Bach would not find much enjoyment in the majority of stolid interpretations of his music. Thanks again for taking the time to write!

@TechRyan88 Hi there, it's a Soprano.. Sopranino is so tiny, it would make Uli look like a Giant!

[keller950]

is there a cd of these guys available somewhere?

[majickids]

My idols !!!!!! You're all great.

@QuintSaxtet When I say "legit", I mean the loose term that has come to mean "not jazz". Terrible term, I know, but it's what people still use. I don't mean your interpretations are not a great way to play Bach. What I'm saying is it should be one way or the other. Your other performances that I've heard of this have a lot more jazz articulation, scoops, etc. In this video, they only poke here and there.

This is most classical I've heard these guys play this, which I guess I both like and don't like, because there's still a little jazz in there (force of habit, perhaps?). Either play it legit, or don't. In between is kinda weird. Still, great music making.
