Artie Shaw Concert for clarinet

[@theresamwatson9207]

Fine job - thank you. One of my favorite pieces of music.

Spectaculair! As a clarinetist, I've respect for the solist. I think it's great to have such an honor to play Artie Shaw. Very nice, great performance and respect for the last note!

[@kosklarinet]

[@llanuraensis]

Bravissimo. Gran bel suono!!

[@clementclarinet]

i notice you are very relaxed when you play; something i've discovered to be an extraordinary help in achieving smooth playing and a pure tone. Your expertise really shined through!

[@PinacoladaMatthew]

One of the brillian sounds I've heard!! I'm really enamored of the sound he sings out...It shall be one of my ideal sounds to always try to achieve...

[@CJSweatt]

Excellent Job!!! My friend here in the U.S. is playing this for a concerto competition for The University of Southern Mississippi Wind Ensemble, conducted by Maestro Thomas V. Fraschillo. You may have heard of him? He's pretty big over here in the "band world". He took a group of students to Rome last summer, and we played with Fulvio Creux and Carlo Calcagnini in the Italian Army Band (La banda dell'esercito). I will be going again this summer, and hope to see other bands in Italy.

[@dodddd29383]

Excellent!!!!!!!!

[@MrStefanobartoli]

Fantasticooooooooooo! Bravissimi!!!

[@Miltonbryan93]

I have'nt gotten the music yet but i am attempting to play by ear. Wonderful job and you seem to be apart of a fantastic band.

[@haitigrl6]

just amazing

[@giucus63]

@jabbadabbaduuu This is the band of the Guardia di Finanza in Rome. The soloist Julius Cuseri. Thanks!

[@kantalope]

thank you very much

[@jazzyclari]

This was played very nicely, much lighter than some of the other, heavier performances on youtube. The soloist is outstanding, well done! But the band wasn't following the soloist OR the conductor when the soloist was playing softer and the conductor wanted them to decresc. around 3:20. This was very easy and lovely to listen to, thank you for posting! :) Excellent, bravo.

[@MICHELMUSIK123]

Orchestre et soliste magnifiques!!!

[@TheZackBriggs]

I think this is the best intrepetation of Artie Shaw's Concerto for Clarinet in the world. Clarinet is really, really, talented.

[@Eeveelover]

HO MAN what a pure and beautiful sound! I love this performance of this piece. It inspires me to be a better clarinet player. :)

[@rmo52]

I had the pleasure of backing Gary Bovyer of the Long Beach Pops on this tune in 1998 (I was on piano). Artie Shaw was in the crowd as well.

[@fatpig33]

I'm just learning this piece myself and I've got to say.... If I could play this like you, it would be a blessing. :-P Great job and well done!!!!!

[@clarinetman1664]

Great performance and great soloist !

[@giucus63]

Grazie

[@jesselawenforcement]

I love how even serious bands like this, the conductor can groove along with the music and really match his conducting style to the music. He must be a very good conductor.

[@cristinclar]

Complimenti!!!

[@joebowen1589]

Artie Shaw was one great musician & I always liked his tunes incl, jealously, Stardust, Frennise & other great tunes. I've played the old standards for yrs i.e. moonglow, whats new, lazy river, misty, hello foll G, chicago, new york new york, it had to be you, mainly on piano but I can play guitar, tenor Banjo, upright bass & Tenor Sax. I mainly am a pianist but learned these extra instruments just in case someone didn't show up for a dance job & I would fill in alternating on whatever instrument was needed. Joe G. Bowen

[@Lengo67]

That makes you a maestro of sorts! That's an accomplishment that many would be proud to own. Good for you! Probably good for the bands/orchestras that hired you. Two thumbs up!

[@clariguinho]

Maravilhoso!!!!

[@giucus63]

Thi is Band of Guardi di Finanza to Rome, Italy. The solist is Giulio Cuseri,1°clarinet solist of this band. Sorry for my english!

[@kneeman66]

Fantastic. Just discovered it.

[@alessandrocrescimbeni7667]

Bellissima esecuzione, grande Giulio!!

[@elclarinetiste]

Very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@giucus63]

The clarinet is a Buffet Crampon mod. RC 1113L. Legatura BG is the mod. with metal wire. The nozzle is a Vandoren B45lira Profile88 with Vandoren reeds No. 3. I hope to have you satisfied.

[@TheOverlordDale]

I liked this interpretation, as well as the improv solo trumpet player in the middle of the obviously classical concert band... I also liked how the clarinetist, obviously trained, included many jazz styles...including an excellent vibrato...much in the way Shaw was famous for.

[@IanRatcliffe3011]

Bravo ... Bravo .... Bravo .... !!! ....

[@ANTOCONTI1963]

Grande Giulio,complimenti per la tua performance!

[@MrPiccolomib]

complimenti

[@JuanManuelSanchez_JMComposer]

very good!

[@Zebracat7]

The real fun is getting to that note....chromatically from the high G! The last note is a C. I usually use this fingering: Thumb, 1/2-hole L1, R1, Eb vent. I highly recommend Ridenour's "Clarinet Fingerings" for altissimo fingerings. The book has multiple fingerings listed for all the altissimo notes, as there are many different ones with varying results. There are comments for most of the fingerings.

[@bryanreyescomposer]

Wow... !

[@valterliubi4468]

Eccellente!

[@TheOverlordDale]

A very nice job. I loved how the clarinetist played this piece in a much lighter fashion, and didn't try to compete with Shaw in terms of sheer power. Overall, I very much liked this interpretation.

[@giucus63]

Thank you. With the study be able to play yourself in this way.

[@GinoLatino_oldcity]

Bravo Giulio!!! :-)

[@Clarinet159]

you GOT TO LOVE the conductor's move at 1:48 LMAO LOVE IT! GREAT JOB :D

[@ElLoca69]

wow

[@zomgrandomtext]

That Bb at the end. .....damn

[@alexfrigo]

wooohooo!

[@jlvyn13]

Every time i hear that high Bb in the end, it sends chills down my spine. I love this song and you did a great version of it. Great job. What's your set-up?

[@giucus63]

Beh! Correva l'anno 2004, non è poi trascorso così tanto tempo oppure.................. sono invecchiato molto in questi ultimi anni!!

[@rigoveulemans]

Does there exist a recording of this exceptionnal performance ? Who are the performers ? This is really great, great, great !!!

[@Lengo67]

Aw, come on! This is one of the best on KZbin and +Guilio Cuseri doesn't tell us who the orchestra is or the clarinet player's name.

[@giucus63]

You guessed it! And 'the profile of the soloist.

[@richardbradleyclarinet9778]

Superb clarinet playing, congratulations. Just a tiny bit straight for my liking but maybe that comes of having a huge military band behind you. The final C of death was done to perfection!

[@fatpig33]

@giucus63 after much study i finaly performed this piece for my AMUSA and on the report it said it was their favorite piece :-)

[@Mietchannel]

could anyone please send me thorugh the sheet music?

[@nmraskin]

I would like to find out where to purchase/rent this arrangement. Does anyone know where I can find it? By the way, fantastic performance!

[@birohealth]

does someone know from where i can get the sheets for this concerto ? it's been while since i'm trying to get them...so i could use some help ...thanks

[@giucus63]

Vandoren B45£ profile 88, Vandoren V12 3,5.

[@giucus63]

Thanks of the coplimentis. Saturday 29 September times 10.30 (in Italy) you/he/she will be transmitted the concert that I will perform in direct on RAIUNO TV. Will you succeed in seeing him/it?

[@JacopoToscani]

Che grande la migliore esecuzione che ho sentito dopo quella di shaw..... che banda è??? non è la finanza..

[@jhogzz07]

you are devil!!!!!!!!!! i like it so much!!!!!!

[@TheZackBriggs]

One more thing. That drummer in 4:00 somewhere looks like Jack Bauer from 24 the show. Lol.

[@kantalope]

I'm getting this music soon. What mouthpiece does he use?

[@GinoLatino_oldcity]

A Giulioooooooooooo...!!!! :-)

[@poissonives]

hey that was awesome!! i am a clarinet player myself, can you give me some tips on how to slide?

[@SlimSymes]

Think about these Dames when it comes to each bar note or stanza in this concerto Betty Grable Billie Holiday Lana Turner Lena Horne.

[@kneeman66]

How do you sit still in the audience when a piece like this is played

[@klarisax1963]

Top Orchester & Super Solist - Gratulation!!!!! ( ich bin selbst Klarinettist und Dirigent ;) )

[@dreadmaker]

well done. I play the clarinet... and I love this piece. I swear, in some parts, it is difficult to tell between you and shaw. that said, some parts you could. his glisses were just unbeatable. and, also, your band... it was iffy. you were awesome, but I think that band could have been better... and the drummer can't beat buddy rich. anyhow, great! it was a pleasure to listen to.

[@palamambron]

What an intriguing arrangement. This soloist is a fine musician but his performance is too soft. Artie Shaw really pressurized the clarinet and you can hear his fingers popping on the holes. He used an edgy loud tone unlike classically trained players. Also I really miss the Trombone entrance at '5:30 in this recording. Bugged me. The high note at the end was great.

[@DawepMe]

5:53 Oh, wow! Amazing gliss!

[@kantalope]

I love this, when i first got this piece i based my performance to him and then changed a bunch of things. I just uploaded my version, you should go check it out, i need some feedback.

[@threejoneses]

Decent job, but way too rigid for Artie Shaw. If anyone watching this is able to, find a recording of Todd Kerstetter from KSU playing this. By far the best I have ever heard anyone do this. It's not on youtube, but I'm sure you can find an mp3 of it somewhere online.

[@giucus63]

Hi, you I am sorry you have not appreciated my interpretation. For now six the only one that is so negatively expressed. Luckily many other have appreciated. Thanks.

[@phredl]

I agree This is better. I like his tone. Artie was a little shrill for my taste.

[@DanielCaraballoMusic_1986]

I believe that this guy has a great sound and did a great job playing this piece, bravo for him!... But, for me, is not the best performance... It's performed like a classic concert, it should be more like the 40s and 50s, with more swing and enjoying it a lot more, improvising and making some crazy things while you play the melody... Shaw wrote it to be played that way.

[@joeschmo1332]

Great job, very good clarinet sound :-) The band would have played better without that conductor!! he jumped off the conductors stand as if HE was the one that played the solo.

[@Tech502]

Hehehe... he's not used to swingie pieces like... I think he's sound better if this were a classical piece. His tone just doesn't suit this kind of music. Don't get me wrong though, he played this piece beutifully!

[@andrearosati3530]

...perché secondo te la musica classica è triste... eccone un'altro

[@johnnycchops]

It's great clarinet work, but why is the drummer playing 1 and 3 so out of proportion? odd. doesn't really work. actually sounds like an "island" beat sometimes. Ietter listen to some Krupa, Ray McKinley, Jo Jones, Sid Catlett, Dave Tough, Buddy Rich, Chick Webb, et al!!

[@TheZackBriggs]

7 people like the horrible nasty music of today.

i notice you are very relaxed when you play; something i've discovered to be an extraordinary help in achieving smooth playing and a pure tone. Your expertise really shined through!
