Bach Suite n°1 Prelude | Nicolas Baldeyrou on a bass clarinet

[@LucasSoares-hy5fn]

The greatest rendition in the bass clarinet that I've ever heard. :D

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Lucas Soares thank you so much Lucas 😊

[@LucasSoares-hy5fn]

Nicolas Baldeyrou Actually I need to thank you, because I was trying to show how beatiful is the bass clarinet to my comrades, but I have a plenty difficulty to find good renditions. Works like you help us to make good music and discover a very good instruments not too known. (I am still learning english.)

[@orlandopimentel4459]

Indeed!

[@RichardMigneron]

@@LucasSoares-hy5fn You should have them listen to Sqwuonk Duo of Toccata and Fugue --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4HYppxnn79rh8k (even though the recording is not very good)

[@christopherherrmann921]

@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 we thank you!! Greetings from a cellist, I LOVE your version! Fresh and great rubato!!!!

[@taturanamercury]

Oh my gosh, this rendition is amazing. You really nail the Bach's tradition even better than a lot of the most well renown cellists. As Celibidache would say: "that's it".

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Pedro Tudón Sáenz thank you so much ! I did my best to be as authentic as I could :-))

[@ormirian7364]

what a beautiful, lyric performance - so many people forget that Bach dances like this

[@nillejoslin]

The circular breathing you do on the bass clarinet is incredible. I find it almost impossible on the bass since it consumes so much air, especially on the low tones. The BD5 mouthpiece helps a little by requiring less air, but you say you play the B40. What's the trick? I promise I won't tell anyone...

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Nelson ThePrimate thank you !no trick dear Nelson... The key is to make MANY small and quick breathings, almost every bar, no fancy trick sorry 😁

[@nillejoslin]

I believe those many small and quick breathings actually can be a trick, rather than waiting with the breathing until you run out of air and have to fill your entire lungs through the nose. That will also create a snorting sound that distracts the listener from the music. Your circular breathing is not audible. Thanks for showing what is possible!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

@@nillejoslin You're absolutely right, if you run out of air, it's already too late and you'll lose control on your air pressure. Thank you, your comment is really motivating to create some new videos !

[@grahammarvell7596]

This is beautiful. You even managed to get my dog NOT to bark while I was listening to this, unlike whenever I play clarinet. Congratulations

包み込まれるような美しさ…音色が柔らかくて素敵です!!! 循環呼吸も凄い✨

[@np7133]

C’est la plus belle musique que j’aie jamais entendue 😮 Bach dans toute sa splendeur, là où les autres compositeurs s’encombrent d’un orchestre, il ne recrute qu’un seul instrument ❤️

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Kuca Babi mille mercis 🙏😊✨

[@minhieen]

my face listening to you looked like Tintin in the video. Absolutely beautiful, this instrument should be more well known!

[@Elpicoolface1106]

Didn't even know there was tintin in the background

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much ! 😊🙏✨

[@DrJoeyBean]

I'm an amateur cellist and I know this music. This rendition is remarkable. Congratulations on a wonderful recording. This could take it's place in the great recordings of this music.

[@int0x80]

I love this.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Colin!

[@lkj974]

Just now seeing this. This is the bass clarinet equivalent of Yo Yo Ma playing on the cello. Very moving. Thank you.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Diane Jenkins thank you so much Diane, Yo Yo Ma’s version is one of my favorites !

[@Zennuts1]

Your bass clarinet performance is incredible. Keep up the good work!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

[@benjaminmajors2183]

I don’t think anyone is allowed to sound this good! It has to be illegal (25/10 would definitely get jealous over again)

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Benjamin Majors 😂😂😂 thank you Benjamin !

[@dstatton]

I have listened to this piece many times by Casals and Ma, so I was skeptical at first, but you nailed it. Beautiful.

[@pierrecazaubon9711]

Au-delà de la technique qui est bien évidemment plus qu'impressionnante et maîtrisée à la perfection : fermons les yeux, ouvrons nos oreilles et la magie est bien réelle, sublimée par la basse... Merci pour ce moment de pur bonheur.

[@manfredlipp6410]

Nicolas ist ein Genie - ich höre leidenschaftlich zu und bewundere was er kann.

Beautifully done. I have listened to several of your posts, and they are all very well played. I happened to notice that the dates of posting were not very far apart. Should we be giving you some sort of "are you a robot" test? You do not sound like one, but, Wow!, your musicianship, intonation, articulation, etc. are really lovely and so consistent. I hope you are a 2Set-style 40-hour-a-day practicer and not just sight-reading... I know the shirt says "Geniuses are born, not created," but I think that's supposed to be sarcastic.
