J. S. Bach. Fugue in G minor by a sax quartet

[@evandempsey7613]

Anybody notice how this video looks more like a movie than a standard KZbin video?

[@RosaHenriquez]

I think it's the warm colors

[@blaxzilianboii7289]

+Rosa Henriquez it's a performance

[@jellykid5098]

Rosa Henriquez the black bars maybe

[@alfiecoates1]

Black bars

[@littlesnowflakepunk855]

It's in 21:9 which is standard cinematic aspect ratio

[@JayB31590]

that soprano put in work right from the start

[@rain.enthusiast]

That soprano sax player was amazing oh my god

[@aaronhungerford1341]

Jess Liu But we mustn't forget the bari after the 2-min mark...

[@pabloweilg7019]

+Jess Liu he is really talented, very minor mistake at 2:07, you can see him cursing at 2:42

[@TheChemistryShack]

+Pablo Weilg He also curses at 2:10

[@TheChemistryShack]

+Jess Liu Everything about each player is fantastic. They all have excellent sounds quality and their fingers as well as their tounging are amazingly clean and precise. The alto player was circular breathing most of the time without any change in tambre. Just fantastic!

[@klop123rt]

+Mark Kim easily possible

[@williampierce5579]

I love how the soprano's neck strap falls out at the end and he's just like "What?"

[@kemi9403]

hahahaha IK

[@blaxzilianboii7289]

I didn't notice that till u said it

[@williamhutchinson4238]

I think he forgot the last note too, so like a double oops

[@ablubird1451]

William Pierce good eye 👍😂

[@benjaminmarks8765]

William Pierce my soprano so old it ain't got nowhere to hook a neckstrap

[@evilherojain4412]

THE CIRCULAR BREATHING!

[@elbreadroh]

Bob Ross Your art videos inspire us

[@ittainativ6606]

Ikr? So satisfying!!!!😊

[@pageboy25]

Daddy Hirohito It’s not that impressive, people just abuse it in front of audiences that find it fascinating, leading on for it to become the “renowned” technique that it is. It’s not impressive.

[@natedowney3300]

Pageboy25 if u can’t do it perfectly I don’t wanna ever hear you say that. That skill is extremely impressive

[@pageboy25]

they aren’t using circular breathing. at 1:20 the soprano takes a breath

[@RussianSaxQuartet]

Dear friends and colleagues! Thank you for your attention to our work. Thank you for your valuable and helpful comments!

[@nostalgiakarlk.f.7386]

Soprano sax + Alto sax + Tenor sax + Baritone sax = AWESOMENESS!!!!

[@oscarrh8005]

Or Sax Quartet

[@Joe_Ingles]

Now now, where that Bass sax XD

[@brandonallison8579]

Whoever had the soprano saxophone, nice save no the last chord 😂

[@showbusiness5844]

Nope I don't think it's a save. He squeaked but there is supposed to be a small pause for soprano near the end.

[@sweetpresten]

It wasn't necessarily a save, a lot of composers wait a beat or a few to add the top of chords, it may have been a save, or it may have been on purpose..

[@coelhoigor]

Several pianists end Bach fugues/preludes/etc. with an arpeggiated chord -- though Bach did not notate it like that -- and I think that's what they were going for. And I'm pretty he didn't squeak either.

[@lordtacoz]

It had to be a save. Even if there was supposed to be a pause, which I don't think there was because you can see that he reached for his soprano to come in before his neckstrap snapped off. When it did, you can tell by his face and the other players' faces of trying to hold back laughter that it clearly wasn't planned

[@Lemony-po6km]

And I know I’m extremely late but you can also see him mouth “fuck me” right before it blacks out at the end so it’s safe to assume it was an accident heh

[@skylarkhamphou3306]

Does anybody else’s video freeze or glitch at 1:04? Or is that just me

[@PrinceSwaggy]

Skylar Khamphou it was a glitch

[@hattie24able]

Mine had a slight glitch too.

[@edhh-yq8ty]

Mine did too

[@PhilMusical]

same

[@DecrontheWarrior]

I love how saxophones can play baroque music like this better than any string quartet yet they are also the kings of jazz best instrument by a mile xD

[@chrise6630]

totally agree

[@DarkMage501]

Better than any string quartet...? Eh, don't agree with that one lol

[@colechristie6903]

Except their sound doesn't blend well with an orchestra

[@tiny-orange1531]

Cole Christie Their orchestral variants can blend much easier with more effectiveness.

[@carters5615]

Better than any string quartet? False lol

[@leonardoadornetto9190]

Great!! What a frightening moment for the soprano at the end ahahahhaha

[@FarmerJack08081]

A nice clean reading. Good pitch. Good dynamics. A very enjoyable listen

[@thomaskipfer1008]

This Fugue by saxophones alone in harmony is classical music with a future. Saxes make the ages old material- new and exciting. People will be drawn to listen to classical music again because of these charismatic saxophones.

[@opabinnier]

Ages old? this is late Baroque, early 18th century; that is not old- only some 50 years before the Dec of Indep. But it isn't classical music: not quite as recent as that. And it won't bring anyone round: it sounds really really bad. Listen to some dedicated groups playing eg Brandengurg 4. Recorders or violins sound crap and cringe in Jazz (anyone is allowed to say that, surely) WELL: if you're REALLY honest, saxes sound embarrassing here in a Bach piece. AND THAT IS OKAY. Because it's true. Saxes sound lovely playing their stuff: velvety and muscly; here they sound like cartoon ducks.

[@PianoForFun]

bach is an alien

[@jackman12359]

ok zoomers

[@BardCoennius]

Adolphe Sax would have been pleased.

[@chaplainmattsanders4884]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevinvaldez5253]

Amazing. This group has really helped me learn this piece for my sax quartet. Much applause

[@b1LL1eMc]

It's like it was written for a sax quartet. Love it!

[@airedale1913]

I love Bach on sax! Played well in groups they can almost sound like a harpsichord. In the same way as really good flute choirs can almost sound organ-like.

[@janeheiserman2883]

I just loved that!

[@stringjello1056]

This is so good! The last note where the soprano came in a little later was perfectly balanced! Also a great way to introduce these four saxophones to my students !

[@yourfavoritedrugdoctor]

9 years later, this is still amazing

An overwhelming cascade of perfect counterpoint, precision, sonorous harmony and melody, short and joyful to listen to.

Well done! The voices are so clear in this format. The rapid fingering was impressive, too.

Great outline on how Bach's (or broadly, most baroque contrapoint music) is done - 4 voices doing stuff together. simply beautiful rendition!

[@rlunger1]

Sax quartet is a GREAT way to hear Bach fugues....one can distinguish each melodic line .....very nice to hear (and see)

[@davijesus6399]

o cara do sax soprano é perfeito,toca muito.
