Candide Overture by Leonard Bernstein- Quatuor de Clarinettes Anches Hantées

[@bobbob123ful]

I didn't know an abandoned west side gang territory was so acoustically complementing to the clarinet.

Pretty good guys, actually. We were on their territory and they washed the place, they filmed us, they took care of us. Reed trafficking is so powerfull.

The Eb Clarinet player is amazing!

All player is amazing!

This is it!! This to me is the video that officially got me into classical music. In 7th grade, I was looking up videos of odd instruments, as I would often do. I had a certain fascination, and still do, with the harmony clarinets, especially the contras. It was likely then that I was recommended this video. I loved this video so much, and it became one of the recordings I'd listen to over and over everyday while "doing homework." Then one day, I realized "oh, this piece is originally for orchestra? Well, this is basically my favorite thing ever, so I might as well listen to the original." I of course came across the piece conducted by Bernstein himself, and in a funny way, I was actually quite disappointed by the original because I was shocked to not find those quirky tempo things you did that I loved so much. Of course I grew to love the original as well, and soon I began to realize that my favorite part was no longer the quirky fun bits, but the absolutely beautiful multi-meter section with the countermelody. That is when I began to appreciate the beauty in music, and with that the emotion in music. The rest is and will be history; I'm now a classical bassoon undergraduate at the Manhattan School of Music, and next year I will be studying abroad in Finland at the Sibelius Academy. I owe a lot to this video, and, after having finally revisited it again, find it to be an absolutely fantastic performance. It is of my favorite recordings of anything ever, and that's even if I do not include how much it changed my life.

Wow...! We are very touched by your message and happy to have been able to bring you into classical music ! We wish you to live beautiful moments with your bassoon, and above all to have fun with classical music ... being quirky can be cool! Cheers!

[@grahamsax]

Spectacular! 🔥🔥🔥

[@colourfulmagic]

Outstanding.. Wow. ❤

Thank you !

[@jamespratte8556]

Amazing! Brilliant Eb Clar playing and masterful bass clarinet as well. Superior articulation and subito tempo changes! BRAVO!!

Thank you very much :)

[@MrTonyHeath]

It makes you glad to be alive. And that takes some doing thee days.

[@rileybland8776]

Wow, these players are fantastic. Very nice job with the overture.

[@RobinSeletskyClarinet]

Wonderful. I"ve always felt that this overture was perfect for chamber winds - years ago I made an arrangement for woodwind quintet. Bravi - sounds great!

[@jacquesgelinas820]

Vous êtes étonnants. Jolie sonorité de la clarinette soprano. Bel ensemble. Vous interprétez des pièces très difficiles. Merci.... maintenant vous faites parti de mes groupes préférés .

[@sincos2207]

Where can I get this score??? I also play this with clarinet companions !!!

[@かみちゃん-z2j]

上手すぎる！！！ 次元が違いすぎる！

[@sarasauzereau1655]

je viens de vous entendre sur france musique c'est juste sublime.........................

[@joshtyra]

Absolutely brilliant arrangement. Brilliant playing, too.

[@michelfoulon9029]

En vous écoutant ( en concert ou sur CD ) on rêve d’avoir vingt ans, de se balader sur la partition comme vous le faites ! Merci infiniment pour ces moments exquis.

Merci beaucoup pour ce magnifique commentaire ! Au plaisir de vous faire encore voyager en musique :)

[@celinebelin3748]

Je suis d'accord !

[@hanline3146]

Wonderful, just love this interpretation. Amazing! Thanks for posting.

[@daphne9604]

How does that second guy read the music with the hair in front of his face XD Also great bass clarinet hopefully one day I can play it like that!

Good question. "Talent" is the answer.

[@genarocernalara5163]

Excelente interpretación 👍

[@deicide1743]

Sound beatiful!!

[@amberbuck805]

Um ok so I just fell in love! Beautiful!

[@adamwsadberry]

Ah, this gives me such chills. I played the wind of arrangement of this with a Texas All-State Band last year, and hearing this arrangement brings back amazing memories. Thank you for performing this.

[@Stevarino1020]

Played Clarinet in med School with University of Miami Music Masters students. Played the Weber quintets and Brahms Sonatas. until arthritis permanently stopped my ability to play. That was 40 years ago. The precision ,tone and ensemble togetherness here is simply outstanding . I will bet they are all French Buffet Crampon clarinets -they have the best tone of all clarinets. Simply superb.

yes, in deed !

[@theclartists4939]

Oh we love the arrangement & your connection, it just sounds wonderful!

Thank you. We played together since 2001. Very soon a webpage of some of our transcriptions will be launched at www.qah.fr.

[@FlowersInHisHair]

Beautifully played! And what an excellent job with the arrangement - it feels like there's nothing missing. Very clever!

[@marcosmallmann5282]

Braaaavoooo

[@jcherokee]

2020 and I'm just now finding out about this??? HOLY SH*T!!!! That was freaking awesome...!

We are a bit like Yoda in the clarinet world. Discreets and no one knows exactly our age.

[@JohnResciniti]

What a hip place to record!

[@eddiesanford9754]

I come back to this video once every two years, and it always fills me with joy! Just so beautiful, crisp, and passionate!

See you in two years !

[@BARRY77780]

Fantastic arrangement. Top class playing! Many thanks to all. barry

[@ElizabethMartinez-wp2xg]

Hello, thank you very much ! Some pieces (for clarinet quartet) arranged by Bertrand Hainaut and Laurent Arandel are edited by Billaudot (www.billaudot.com/en/catalog.php) There are also the creations by Guillaume Connesson ("Prélude et Funk" - Ed. Billaudot) and Richard Dubugnon ("Saratoga Trails" - Ed. Peters : www.edition-peters.com/product/modern/saratoga-trailsfor-clarinet-quartet/ep72563?TRE00000/) Thank you for listening :)

[@nicholastaranto6466]

Hi Elizabeth, did you end up finding this arrangement? I couldnt find it in the archives listed by the uploader.. Thanks, Nic

[@CairnOwl]

There are no words to properly give justice to how wonderful your performance and arrangement are. You all make me want to repair my clarinet and play again!

Go ahead ! We have some addresses of repairers

[@guilhermevieira9578]

Thank you. We did our best.

[@stephengage9582]

WOW!

[@bobbyzz94]

Brilliant & awesome!

[@lionelbras793]

Connaissant très bien cette ouverture dirigée par Bernstein lui même je craignais le pire. Je rends les armes vous êtes absolument superbes, sonorités rythme tout y est. Félicitations. En fermant les yeux on voit Bernstein vivant de tout son corps cette musique lorsqu'il la dirigeait. Archi bravo à vous!!!!

Heureux d'avoir pu créer cet ascenseur émotionnel...!

[@梁孟婷-k4m]

Music can makes me have a sweet dream!

[@alhospinas9994]

reading the comments I realize that it is impossible to get the fix, would have to buy in the company that owns it or how could I get or buy that beautiful arrangement?

[@lakilester1]

Excellente formation avec des arrangements très bien adaptés au quatuor. Bravo !

[@CyrilleMercadier]

Génial les anches hantées!

C'est toi qui est génial

[@jackstone652]

Absolutely brilliant. I would say that there is a slight gap in the sound between the second soprano clarinet and the bass. Perhaps if would have been tonally better to use an alto with some of it's lower notes thrown in..?

A basset horn is now in the quartet, you can hear it in "Malinconia" and "Opéra Sans Diva", our two last albums ! Available online !

[@kukes]

nice tempos :)

[@PushN88]

Goodness... Thank you!

[@WilfriedBerk]

Chapeau !

[@tompeleg4822]

[@--076]

This is spectacular. My goodness... excellent!

[@FiLopezE]

Hi friends! are you playing outdoors? because i've heard people saying that the clarinet sounds bad and muted outdoors, but if where are you playing is an outdoor site, i can say that the clarinet sounds good no matter the place and the acoustic where you play it (if you play it good, obviusly). Thanks for your music, very nice interpretation. The picollo sounds beautiful, it's not strident and i like a woman to play the bass clarinet, she plays with much passion and a beautiful sound.

[@joelneo0303]

excellent!

[@Fumbles9001]

sick. absolutely sick.

Midim Cristil Bonjour. Merci beaucoup pour ces compliments. Le morceau que nous interprétons au lancement de la vidéo est "en bâteau" tiré de la petite suite de Debussy.

[@irllain508]

I play the Bb clarinet and I always move while playing a song I especially enjoy playing as well as my other classmates. the band director does not get upset and agrees that moving although can be bad for beginners and their airflow, is okay with us moving.

[@footloosebaker1077]

hello! I am currently a college student and will be doing quartets and ensamble performances for clarinet, i was wondering if there was any way of accessing or even purchasing the music you play, you sound amazing and i would love to play these pieces in my studio, Thanks!

[@Squidward_Tikiland]

maybe the location was chosen to demonstrate how beautiful, classic culture can beautify even the ugliest, newest places.
