I aspire to achieve this level of musicality and sound quality in my playing. You're an inspiration at its finest my friend.

I’m primarily a jazz player but am playing this concerto in the final round audition for an Air Force band, coming up in April. Your tone, conception and execution of this piece is really phenomenal! Also, thought you’d find it interesting that your interpretation is currently the version used on the KZbin video with the score.

Really wonderful tone quality and interpretation. Subscribed after the first couple minutes.

Lol the opening motif came straight from clarinet concerto

[@jantubaman]

But the rest of the concerto is very original. An example of the French School

Well done!

[@dietmarriener6932]

Sounds amazing! May I know what mouthpiece do you use?

[@krisgarfitt]

Dietmar Riener Thank you!! It’s just a standard Bach 5G.

This concerto, like the Bloch Symphony, deserves a much greater audience relative to the 'usual' suspects. The orchestral part goes a long way to making it listenable because its cleverly scored for an audience schooled by film music and not otherwise given to modern instrumental repertoire. Well played too, except that there is nothing in the orchestral parts or score to suggest, mirror, or support the choice of the heavy handed 'jazz' inflections in the solo part. I think the melodic line itself is sufficiently 'bluesy' to achieve the popular 'desired' (as called for in the music) effect and affect.
