1812 Overture ~ The Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet

[@OldCatDude]

YT algorithm did not fail me this time. These ladies are outstanding. This is my first time hearing a Bassoon Quartet. ❤❤❤❤

[@karlkutac1800]

Beautiful. Wow

[@sharim]

Me too! What amazing breath control they have. Lovely piece of music.

[@jameshartley5]

I have something to check off my bucket list, fine job ladies!!

[@jacobdugan4305]

Gee, I am 70 years old and this is the first time I have heard bassoon's being played outside a symphony. They make beautiful music and these players are very talented.

[@amkii2]

God, bassoons have the most beautiful sound. Sincerely, a clarinetist

[@alfabsc]

As the (bassoon) bells were ringing, and the cannons were firing, I was thinking "Where are the fireworks?". And then, BOOM, right in the face! Y'all are sooo funny!

[@ferce889]

14 years together! you guys are legends!!!!

[@walkergarya]

Excellent musicians with awesome senses of humour!!!

[@bonniehallman-dye3580]

We attended one of their concerts when they were students at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. They are excellent musicians. They did a medley of Lady Gaga tunes, dressed in outfits that matched the tunes. The highlight of the concert was the Disney Princess tunes. They were dressed as the Disney Princesses. Jasmine's prince, Aladdin, was a young man playing a contra bassoon. We went to many concerts and recitals at Eastman, but this one really stood out.

[@TheSalMaris]

Thank you for this Bassoon Goddesses

[@johnstephen7610]

This is one of the best music videos I've ever seen on KZbin, and that's saying something. Absolutely beautiful playing, beautiful sound, and great visual stuff as well. I was really impressed with the long descending run they played, starting about 3 minutes in, in which each person played part of it, then seamlessly handed it off to the next, to the next, etc., so they all took turns participating in this very long descending pattern and if you weren't watching, you'd never know it was four separate musicians in turn. It sounds like one person playing the entire thing. Just wonderful in every respect. I am now a subscriber. Congratulations and thanks to the Breaking Winds Bassoon Quartet.

[@ellenfenner6112]

I love this! There just happen to be fireworks going off outside right now - perfect timing!

[@371508129]

You ladies are fantastic!!!

[@sfperalta]

I broke out in laughter when the bells started with the mouths of the bassoons serving as the visual! These ladies are both clever and talented musicians. Well done!!

[@meredith5061]

Wow! Fabulous ensemble, tuning, expression, filming, creativity… party poppers…. everything!

[@rhs1856]

You've done Peter proud

[@davidgeis8846]

Please keep breaking wind! !!

[@davidhartford6581]

First time hearing a bassoon quartet, this saxophonist is a fan!

[@ChollieD]

All the wind-breaking you can do without a contrabassoon! Very night arrangement and performance, ladies. Thank you.

[@derrickdupreez4209]

Absolutely brilliant ladies!

[@wondog100]

Excellent work ladies more like this please.

[@flams53]

My 13 month old daughter absolutely loves this! Your Bolero too. We watch classical and jazz on KZbin sometimes, and she likes it. But I’ve never seen her so rapt in attention as with you all. So glad the algorithm recommended you.

[@CraigRodmellMusic]

A nice touch, adding the sound effects. The 1812 just isn't the 1812 without the cannons and bells. Nice arrangement, nice sound. Thanks, girls.

[@chrisfleischman3371]

Beautiful! Amazing things happen when human minds collaborate for good…..

[@Fulano5321]

Great performance, and love the fun you had making the video!

[@w6krg]

Truly outstanding, Ladies!

[@johnduffy6546]

That was very pleasurable! Very talented group. I really enjoyed this.

[@danatirrell2457]

Perfect transitions from player to player. Bravo!!!

[@jhonwask]

Basoonists and percussionists in one. I loved it.

[@ThomasSearcy-tv7vq]

What a hoot! But so well done and performed-Bravo!🤗

[@robdgaming]

In the late 19th century, Tsar Alexander III of Russia had a quartet in which he played the bassoon.

[@adamhenderly1602]

Bravo. This is probably the best you've put together yet. I give you each a superior rating.

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

The bassoon is such a difficult instrument to play, with widely spaced keys and great lung power required to get any sound out, let alone the beautiful notes achieved here. This really demonstrates the bassoon's range when so well played. Thanks for putting the instrument front and center! The lighthearted and whimsical approach adds to the fun.

[@Poetstream]

Hilarious and musical entertainment! Bravo. I especially loved the ringing bells...

[@lenniesteinmetz]

Impressive playing and fun special effects!

[@danielpoit5882]

That's nice. Adorable!

[@garymcaleer6112]

What a great arrangement. With some tasteful humor too.

[@julialadd9797]

There are some compositions that were destined to be played by only bassoons. This is one of them. Fantastic work as always, Ladies!

[@rnedlo9909]

Just beautiful!

[@RS3DArchive]

How fun! I used to sit behind the bassoons and bass clarinets in the band and I loved the sound they made. This really demonstrates how versatile these instruments truly are. Thank you, Ladies.

[@allabreveconsulting7067]

OMG the bells! The best! 😆 #bassoonsrule

[@Rick-ut3ep]

I've heard many versions of this piece. This is brilliant

[@freesk8]

I knew the KZbin algorithm would recommend something like this to me ba-sooner or later...

[@scotthewitt258]

Was in my Feed and curious what a bassoon quartet sounds like. Instantly subscribed!

[@steveschlackman4503]

Wow Wow Wow, Iremember where I was. On a windswept hill looking at bracken and imagining trying to run through it. The feral desperation.

[@giseledollinger5046]

Brilliant! 👏👏👏

I can’t help but remember the commercial-“This is the cereal that’s shot from guns”.

[@grahamclayden3291]

Fabulous and great hope for the future of bassooning😀

[@annelarrybrunelle3570]

1. Absolutely fabulous ensemble! 2. Nearly as good as horns. 😊 (Now you know what I play.) 3. Who needs saxophones? Ever! Absolutely amazed at the volume and spectrum of timbres. You ladies might wish to see whether Sue Nigro can collaborate with you.

[@ekcheck4266]

Former bassoonist here - loved every note of this.

[@thearcticlord3920]

Right from the outset i wanted party poppers, and then you delivered. Yes!!!!

[@paulwagner688]

Russians' tendency to write religious chorales in everything coupled with Tchaikovsky's inability to write an ending, punctuated by perfect deadpan percussion. Chef's kiss.

[@Egobaldo]

Tchaikovsky’s inability to write an ending?

[@paulwagner688]

@@Egobaldo Have you heard his endings? They go on and on and on and on.

[@cukka99]

@@paulwagner688 That was just the thing at that stage of romanticism, not his personal shortcoming

now tha is worth a standing ovation. Marvelous.

[@mikeanderson1722]

Looking back, one of my big regrets in life is not being able to continue playing bassoon after college. Such a beautiful instrument and these ladies do an amazing job with it

[@janekeleher3090]

Brava!

[@deevnn]

Thank-you...great and creative rendition. Terrific

[@MarkSmith-cw5kg]

[@JMcdon1627]

[@freesk8]

Wonderful! Thanks! :)

[@richardnixon5068]

Nice double reed work ladies. Plus the insane percussion at the end… Full golf clap

[@admiralcapn]

This is my favourite piece; our local symphony used to do an outdoor concert each Independence Day and the mayor would line up his collection of cannons to go with it. You'd stand next to them with fingers in your ears and just FEEL the concussions hit you in the chest. When the Tsar's Hymn comes in (4:43)...that was the best!

[@billklemm7284]

I love the visuals as much as the playing. Good work!

[@tonywright8294]

Well it certainly made my reed vibrate ! 🤣

[@alejandrofernandez8393]

Congratulations. Great performance

[@morgenstern9310]

This is gorgious. Thnx a lot.

[@mellissadalby1402]

A Bassoon quartet. I am SO Done! Very cool indeed! Incidentally, extremely cool name for the group in my opinion. I like the color shift from grey scale to color. Very nice, Double reed instruments are so hard, but I love the tone. Respect.

[@zebra3stripes]

I was expecting a lot of loud, explosive noises. And then I figured they would add the cannons too.

[@daviddarrall9384]

Just Terrific 😊 ❤ UK

[@josephbrenner3982]

Great, Speaks to the versatility of bassoons.

[@MikeK2100]

Don't mess with my mom! I came home home from school and Mom told me to bring all my stereo equipment down and refused to tell me what I did to Mom for her to confiscate all of my my stereo equipment. Once down he told me to set the speakers in the windows and the next door neighbor got hit with a 150 decibel dose of the 1812 Overture for 8 hours straight. Mom won! Both Dad and I never wanted to hit Mom's bad side. Baltimore's Symphony Orchestra did a great rendition of this, but I would actually love Fort McHenry to canon up again and host the BSO. The thing is with canon when it shoots a ball, the sound is disappointing, but when it fires you feel it! The British ships could be mimicked by pyrotechnic barges, and modern effect like water cannons and blasts of air could make the audience feel they were there. And those around Baltimore's Inner Harbor would enjoy the show before the fireworks and the BSO sound could be piped there as well.

[@SplittingProductions]

That was a lot of fun! Amazing drums and cymbals xD

[@Patrick-ryan-collins]

Absolutely exquisite ❤

[@ghall441]

I stumbled across this video, not very familiar with the bassoon, and now I'm hooked! Wonderful sound, and wonderful presentation. Love the humor throughout -- starting with your group's name :)

[@davebrown7561]

For a more modern take on bassoon honking tributes try Josh Turner & Rocky Bassoon's version of The Steve Miller Band's 'Swingtime', lots of fun. My 2 cents. {:-))

[@samw5767]

Those weapons look terrifying.
