Andreas van Zoelen plays Glazounov Saxophone Concerto part 1

Here's the first part. Thanks to all for viewing, and requesting the rest of this video!
The video was recorded live, and played real time on a big screen behind the orchestra. for the first bit the camerateam showed on of my old instruments that was set up on stage, that's why I originally didn't upload this section. Will be uploading the last part soon.

Could someone tell me what kind of saxophone the picture is of at the beginning? Thanks.

[avanzoelen]

@architect921 it's an old high pitched Dolnet tenor from Paris

What a great piece of music. Glazunov was disturbed by developments of 20th century music and felt out of place. His nostalgia for things past shines through this melancholy autumnal masterpiece.

Wow, that's really great! There should be more professional performances like this on youtube... Anyway, the Glazounov concerto is one of the best, I love to play it...

Bien para los que no somos músicos y estamos conociendo la grandeza de la Música, para Mi suena genial y extraordinario.

@xXfivefeettallXx Andreas van Zoelen is a member of the Rascher-Saxophone-Orchestra. This Piece was written to Sigurd Rascher on of the first and still best saxophonists. If someone knows how to play this masterpiece it's a member of the Rascher-Quartet or Rascher-Orchestra link Andreas. All of the Raschers are playing Buescher Saxophones which are build like Adolph Sax invented the sax (for classic not Jazz). Therefore it is such an amazing sound! I had the pleasure to meet him:)

I've got a Yamaha Custom Z alto, Vandoren V12 4 reeds, a leather ligature and Selmer Paris C mouthpiece. Needless to say, it kicks ass, just like this piece!

[Phiahall]

I really want to play this piece with orchestra

[warriorfightsforcake]

I'm learning this...he does it so well!! I wish I could be this brilliant.

[coolthing21]

I love his tone! His phrasing is great too, especially on the chromatic passages and the upper register!

[xXfivefeettallXx]

Amazing sax piece, wish I was skilled enough to play all the way through it - I can only play the first few bars :(

[xXfivefeettallXx]

This is an absolutely wonderful piece and this saxophone has an amazing sound! Unfortunately I am only able to play the first few bars of this piece ;)

@shorelock My set up- Canonball Big Bell Stone Series, under key neck, Selmer Paris C* mouthpiece, Vandoren V16 2 1/2 reeds, and vandoren master ligature.... best sound at all staten try outs

[archlordXd0]

@shorelock How are the V12's working for you? I liked some things about their robust sound but it felt like a trade off for playing very lightly and delicately. I still wish I could find something better than Traditionals... I'm tired of the ridiculous prep they keep taking me.
