G.F.Handel-Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. Misteria Saxophone Quartet

[@josephmuyunda1]

Wow, this is the most beautiful i've heard Saxophones sound.. Perfectly in tune, the tone and control is just top notch

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

Yes, well that's because we are outcasts from an orchestra. This piece was obviously an arrangement transposed for a sax quartet. We don't just belong in marching bands ;o ... We're kind of used to it, In fact we count years differently. There's music from Before Sax Era (BSE) such as this piece, And well... Glad you liked it Joseph, I did also.

[@mahlonrhoades4509]

I would never have thought a sax quartet could sound so sweet. Such elegance and precision. Great blend and use of dynamics. Very impressed.

[@erickruse4679]

I've never ever heard 4 saxophones play so perfectly in tune. The precision and control here has me bewildered.

[@NareHarry]

Superb! The comment about their dresses is of course totally irrelevant, close to stupidity. Just listen to these four amazing women playing this wonderful Sinfonia from Händel's Solomon. Their dynamics are great, they're all masters of their instruments. Listen and consider yourself lucky that you've found this absolute beauty on the internet.

[@marieresweber3799]

Wow ! Beautiful performance, beautiful sound, beautiful performers, what else ? Adolph Sax must rejoice in Heaven !

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

He knew what he was doing. The great thing about being a sax player is - We know who our father is! There's a word for people who don't know who their father is, but it slips my mind at the moment

[@simongross3122]

What a wonderful performance

[@MichaelMontague]

Very nice work. We played this song at a Rascher Workshop back in 1982. Excellent work!

[@patrickleplat7914]

Superbe cet ensemble de saxos, belles sonorités et ..quel ensemble!..

[@TheFaithArtist]

This is so beautifully played. Great intonation, balance, use of dynamics. Well done!

[@larrymerkle1672]

This sounds very different from what I was expecting. I was very pleasantly surprised, and really enjoyed listening to these talented musicians. I love the clarity of the parts. Thanks.

[@aylacristina7295]

The interesting is that they aren't wearing black as most of the people who play classical music, they're beautiful in colored clothes. The song is wonderful.

[@rattywoof5259]

It's not a song - there are no words.

[@WetaMantis]

@@rattywoof5259 Wasn't the piece an Oratorio in the first place?

[@rattywoof5259]

@@WetaMantis The work from which it comes ('Solomon') is indeed an oratorio, but this is the purely orchestral intro to Act III. As Mr. Spock once said, "For the moment my logic is intact".

[@bassfora7854]

Очень красиво, профессионально, стройно, шедеврально в общем, спасибо!!!

[@fennecfox8623]

How can just four musicians, playing live, produce a sound so full and flawless? Wonderful :)

[@maxwellmorris]

Brilliant playing by very clever quartet their dynamics are spot on a real pleasure to listen too.

[@donnajordan4324]

Soprano saxophone has a wonderful oboe like quality as the alto in the higher range sounds violin like.

[@brekedekdang39]

Amazing, the best version of this on sax quartet that I have found yet.

[@williampelto6095]

Great arrangement and great intonation. BRAVA, ladies!!

[@A_Long_Musk]

Это замечательно. Помню, когда я был в России много лет назад, я слышал, как оркестр балаяжников играл Моцарта с такой же точностью и выразительностью.

[@ЕвгенияМартынова-с3з]

Обалденно! Такой нежный и глубокий звук, потрясающе!Молодцы, девушки!

[@Agaveo_Productions]

Armonico velluto cremoso! harmonious creamy velvet ! Wow! Bravissime!

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

Bravo! I love how Baroque music sounds on the saxophone.

[@gregorycampbell9967]

Excellent!!

[@joernschulze5182]

Sehr, sehr fein gespielt, super musikalisch, tolle Bögen, edel im Ton, Klasse.

[@GregBrownsWorldORacing]

I am glad to hear these wonderful musicians performing their art. While I doubt Handel envisioned this piece being played by a sax quartet, I feel certain he would be delighted to hear this. I am.

[@themoistcactus]

So beautiful and an impressive piece!

[@severinorafaelcavalcanteda8252]

Fantastic Melody Saxophonist improvisation Very beautiful 💐🐎🐴🔥🌼🌹🌹💋💞🎺🎺🎷🎷📯💥🎼🇧🇷

[@jeromek2125]

Didn’t miss a beat, excellent, deserved better than the feeble applause!

[@MrMoseley123]

This is mesmerising

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Without Handel and his great performers such as these splendid performers , the classical music world would have been very lonely and insipid , and the enjoyment and pleasures of the classical music would have been less

[@aquilonnord1700]

Девки, брави!!! Ещё не всё потеряно у нас в музыке! Горжусь!

[@glennlopez6772]

So it had to be in Moscow? Scanning from left to right, who was my favourite? Never expected such perfection! See you in my dreams!

[@yvoncodere7648]

J'adore! Elles sont formidables! Je joue cette pièce en solo au saxophone soprano, et c'est rapide et difficile d'avour du souffle!

[@sandybear61]

One of my very favorite pieces -- love this saxophone version!

[@jamesdocherty1957]

Absolutely beautiful

[@MusicMoonandflute]

Sorprendente, increíble y hermoso.

[@jacgel6493]

WOW! WOW! WOW! Quel bel ensemble. Sonorité impeccable. Nuances impressionnantes. Heandel serait fier de votre quatuor!!! Magnifique Merci de partager

[@edelahaye]

Absolutely brillant ! The intonation is perfect !

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Their specutacular performance is beyond description , immeasurable , unfathomable and comfortable to the ear and the mind

[@jessicawatson891]

they are blended so well together. such a lovely tone

[@svenliljegren9148]

I share to all my students! Very good

[@MaestroTJS]

Saxophones are amazing. You hear hints of other instruments throughout the arrangement and they are so expressive. I think this wouldn't sound right with a group of clarinets, for example, but even though the sax was invented much later than this music was written, it somehow still sounds perfectly fine with them.

[@johnwardsaxophonist2862]

Maestro_T interesting to speculate on what Handel and Bach would have produced for a Sax quartet......

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Exactly; at 0:51, when the tenor and baritone saxophone begin soloing, one can clearly hear cellos and double basses too.

[@MaestroTJS]

​@@zvonimirtosic6171 Agreed, there is also something about the "attack" of the saxophone (or at least how they are playing it here) that seems to approximate the fat, bouncy, soft sound you can get from a bow. Obviously kind of hard to put into words but I think you will know what I mean. A bassoon, by comparison, would have a sharper sound--more articulate but less smooth and string-sounding.

[@pavelpistecky1590]

спасибо, прекрасное, благодарю вас

[@johnfenner347]

Absolutely Marvellous. Splendid playing all round here.

[@albertocolzani897]

정말 멋진 앙상불입니다~~ Fantastic sound!!!

[@noelaruldas1152]

Hurrah! What a wonderful performance! Dear performers! I congratulate and wish you all the best to perform well in more and more pieces like this. When all the four of you simultaneously play it gives the effect of playing duplication of same copy of melody on both upper and lower octave with addition of two more notes in between ( both of the hands) on foot-pumped harmonium. I like such effects.

[@Carlos-qz7ul]

Top notch ensemble ! 👌

[@carloscuegarcia9600]

¡Qué belleza!

[@roberthare5174]

Viva la cultura occidental, cristiana y civilizada! la Europa cristiana vivira por siempre estas piezas que traen un pedacito del cielo a esta tierra que se ha entregado al paganismo y hoy adoro todo lo feo, lo malo y lo degenerado.
