Sublime e divina música!!!

+ Tenebrae factae sunt super universam terram dum crucifixerunt Jesum Judaei. Et circa horam nonam exclamavit Jesus voce magna: Deus, Deus quid me dereliquisti? Et inclinato capite emisit spiritum. Ecce terraemotus factus est magnus. Nam velum templi scissum est, et omnis terra tremuit. Et inclinato capite emisit spiritum.

Buen sonido !!!

I was not aware of the link, but I hope folks are enjoying the video!

great....

awesome beautiful great talent

@Joel418 update: i got a selmer s80 c* and am now using vandoren 2.5 reeds and im actually in eighth grade i have no idea why i wrote seventh

THERE IS NOT A FILM WITH RAVEL PLAYING SOME OF HIS WORKS?

@rozwellc You are correct, rozwellc. In general, I took the 5- and 7-tuplets to be embroidery, and therefore effectively emphasized by some freedom of pacing. Of course, that's just my take on it, and was not based on any particularly sophisticated or historically-informed line of reasoning.

@lastrampas Thanks!

@MrBotanyBob Thank you so much for the kind words!

Just beautiful. Thanks so much!

@Polygor2 Thanks!

@hopeheldhigh Thanks so much! I agree regarding the Price recording; also I would recommend Thomas Hampson's recording. Best of luck with your recital :)

im singing this on my junior recital and it is SUCH beast. you did a great job...another great one to listen to is leyotene price singing it with Samuel Barber playing... listening to how he wanted it really helped me.

@philiphoward123 Thanks :)

@udayorama Good luck!

im in 7th grade and im playing this solo for cmea (california music educators association) in march. I use a selmar as 500 with a stock 4c mouthpiece and a rovner mark 3 with rico jazz select reeds althiugh i use jazz reeds the ligature gives me a dark enough sound for this piece i probably wont play it this fast

@shishirth Thank you!

@jazzman622 Yes, beautiful sound!

@jazzman622 Thanks so much for the kind words! As to other versions, this is the only one I've ever posted, and the only version I'm aware of. I suppose the other site may have done the audio cleanup/remastering themselves.

@smallfilou You are right; I will contact her and ask if she'd like to be listed...

By the way there is also a pianist on that recording, would be only correct to mention him/her?

@recorder38 Merci beaucoup!

Magnifique ! Quelle virtuosité, y compris au piano !

@dap1mp Thanks so much, and best of luck in the transfer process!

@gerardbedecarter Thanks so much!

A beautiful performance.

Very nice recording...Im at a junior college looking to transfer and this is one of the pieces im gonna be playing....first time i hear with piano accompaniment

@shannon32060 Thanks so much for the kind words, Shannon; best of luck with this challenging but rewarding work! Regarding advice, please see my comments immediately below.

This is a really amazing recording. My sax teacher want me to play this for solo and ensemble in February. And I have only been playing for a year and a half do you have any suggestions

@richardmatchett I always found the Rascher mouthpieces very accommodating when I wanted a well-controlled sound, though they did have their limitations in terms of ability to produce greater volume. If I recall, I was using a Rascher mouthpiece for the recording of the Jacobi sonata that I have posted here on KZbin. Give it a listen, compare it to this and make your own judgement. In the end, of course, it's all about what feels best for you. Again, all the best in your endeavors!

Hey everybody; I've just put up my recording of the Dahl Concerto for Saxophone from my senior recital (1999). Hope you will all enjoy! Joel418

Fun bit of trivia: the text is very closely modeled on one of the oldest surviving texts in an ancient form of the Irish language (c. 8th century CE)

@kapariz44 Thanks so much! It is a tricky, but intensely satisfying little piece :)

Very nice. Initially it gives the impression of being a catchy little tune, but one is quickly disabused of that by the complex rhythms and syncopations that follow. Plenty of banana skins for the under-rehearsed singer. Good diction in this performance, esp. with the r's.

@richardmatchett Thanks so much, and best of luck with your audition! My two basic tips on this one are: 1. Practice the long scalar passages at a very slow tempo at first, then slowly approach your desired speed 2. Be very aware of the "conversation" between yourself and the piano/orchestra; a great deal of what Glazounov creates in this work is as much a collaboration between the two voices as a solo "feature."

@grandsaxophone Dorn publications, if I recall...

@Joel418 Same here bro >.>

Where did you get the part of piano???

@Joel418 Thank you very much! ;)

@HanSoloPictures2000 I don't know what recording equipment was used, but I can tell you it was recorded in Wiedemann Hall on the campus of Wichita State University (Kansas). Thanks so much for the kind words, and best of luck with your musical endeavors!

How did you record this? What kind of microphone do you use? This is one of the best reordings I heard here on youtube! I'm 14 now and I practice for this masterpiece. Thanks, you helped me very much!

@Joel418 Thanks :)

@DillonNicholsonTV Thanks so much for the kind words Dillon! I don't play anymore (I've gone into musicology instead), but the loudness of the key-clicking was always an issue I was trying to address.

First of all, thanks so much for the kind words; I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm assuming you're referring to the (third?) selection from Ravel's Miroirs; if so, I think there is a definite affintiy between the two lustrous piano parts.

Some parts of the piano part remind me of "Une Barque sur la Ocean." Maybe that's it what makes this song so beautiful? Or is it your wonderful voice? ;)

@snowflaky21 Thanks!

it was dedicated to Misia Sert. a woman friend of his

@malcolmcolemann Thanks!
