Only saxophonists who work in this type of ensembles can really understand how hard it is. Perfect ensemble play, incredible "in tune" octaves and unisons, great arrangement!
Absolutely!!!!!
Not just that but matching articulations across multiple people with balancing so that everyone is heard, yet not encroaching on others parts. Not to mention making everyone’s tone both unique enough to be characteristic for their instrument while also being able to blend the many instruments into a solid and homogenous wall of sound. And all that doesn’t take into account the difficulty of the music on the page.
The saxophone is the instrument so great that it’s created the only chamber ensemble able to rival the diversity of texture and color of the string quartet. Chamber saxophone music is what makes me proud to be a classical saxophonist as it shows off exactly what an amazing instrument that Adolf Sax created.
belle harmonie , magnifiquement interprétation - Merci infiniment
Muito difícil Muito dicifil
@@jacobbass6437 hi sir, I'm new to saxophone and classical music in general, could you tell me what's "chamber" thanks a lot
@@jero2955 chamber music is music for only a couple instruments. Usually 2-5 though chamber groups as big as 16-20 do exist. It's usually more casual in nature and was written originally to be performed in the "chambers" of the rich aristocrats where the aristocrats and their teachers would play music together in small informal concerts.
Excellent rendition. Your could hear an organ, even a full orchestra. Great adaptation and great playing.
I love the sound of that baritone player!!
Matt S. I actually thought his sound emulated the low range of a pipe organ incredibly well
.
I appreciate your duty of care
You mean bari Sax?
Every time I listen to Toccata and Fugue in D minor by Bach I ask myself how such piece of music is possible. I've never found any answer to my question, only musicians who are able to show that this piece is possible to be performed. And that's what I am so thankfull for.
La colonna sonora di un film sui viaggi temporali. Grandissimo.
What a flexible instrument the saxophone!!! Not merely the unbelievable JAZZ music (that's per se' wonderful) BRAVI!!!
I see bari sax, I click
Something so ephemeral captured forever. I think Bach loved life.
His was somewhat tragic but his faith seems to have kept his spirits high
Il Sax gli dà un tono assolutamente avventuroso, alla Beethoven, là dove l'organo lo rende gotico. Una sensazione stranissima.
I'am a jazz sax player and I found pure beauty in this play.. great job !
I love the little dance that the tenor and bari are doing at 5:07 😂 for some reason it makes me think of the Veggie tales dancing. Then again I dance with my sax too so I can’t talk. If you don’t you’re not feeling the vibe
Those dancing gestures are some of the best ways of getting REALLY locked in. It’s what me and the second alto did for the second movement Maslanka Symphony No. 7. We had 32nd note duodectuplets and switched off ever beat. We utterly nailed it.
Perfect group/band chemistry! And they said that the saxophone would never be a classical instrument! lol!
Who said that? I don’t think anyone has said that. Saxophone was invented for classical music. It was adopted into the military and then into jazz and then into rock, but at its beginning it was a classical instrument.
Amy Rose
No, composers took them out of the orchestras because all of the other instrument makers in Paris threatened to boycott their orchestras if they used saxophones. Saxophones were so much better than every other instrument maker’s wind instruments at the time that they caused those makers to hate Sax. They actually created an organization devoted to ruining him, and even tried to kill him a few times. Hector Berlioz said of the instrument, “It cries, sighs and dreams. It possesses a crescendo and can gradually diminish until it is only an echo of an echo. I know of no other instrument that possesses this particular capacity to reach the outer limits of audible sound.”
Tuttavia una sensazione estremamente gradevole. Grande interpretazione.
This is probably the best sax ensemble performance on TH-cam. One competitor would be the Mi-Bemol Ensemble's rendition of Holst's Jupiter, but they needed a lot more saxes for that one.
Wonderful. Sax as Stradivarius violins. 👍👍👍
Baroque 'n' roll!
Cheers
I love the tutty moment with the soprano is sounds so good.
It sounds overly dramatic, but j mean it when I say that these are the best saxophonists I've ever heard. If I knew that my sax could make such beautiful music I wouldn't have given it up.
3:14 Fugue
Had only heard it played in church (organ) and this is one of my favourite pieces. I am delighted by the sax arrangement - sounds really fab.
Beautifully done! I especially liked the way that all the saxophones combined in the Toccata to create a very good impression of a pipe organ.
I'm naturally impressed, never thought it would sound this good
I've only listened to this played on an organ. Outstanding!
That was amazing. It's always amazing when good musicians do something different and do it so very well. I posted this to my facebook page before I even finished listening to it. I remember the first time I heard Pictures at an Exhibition as arranged for orchestra by Saint Sans and he called for a saxophone. Actually I was in the 9th grade and playing with a semi pro wind orchestra in Ventura CA back in the 60's and we played it and that was the first time I'd ever heard it. This recording was as good as anyone's could be.
WOW, amazing!!! Sometimes the sound is like an organ. I love this! :-)
Anyone else love the sound of the baritone sax?
And was anyone else reminded of the music scene from close encounters of the third kind at the start of the fugue part?
everyone loves the baritone sound I know very well i'm a baritone player
IIGrayfoxII tenor FTW
that bari sound literally made me so happy
Oh yes👍
But they need a bass saxophone too 😜
Those were from THE ENTERTAINER by Scott Joplin.
Какое чудо, настоящий орган👏👏👏👍
Супер! Не мог даже представить ,что это произведение можно сыграть на саксофонах. Браво!
I’m an alto saxophonist and I have always been a fan of the saxophone

Extraordinary! Wish to have a recording of your performance. Well done.
BRAVO!!👍👍👍🎵🇯🇵
Super. Bravo.
Remarkable team work. Love it....
Virtuosity personified
Just brilliant
wow! the thought came through my head and i looked it up and i were suprised this video even exsists.
Bari sax sounds awesome
Olha o que se pode realizar com 6 saxofonistas exepcionais ❤🎷👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant....thank you...
The bari sax is amazing!
I Didn’t see something beautiful like this for a long time
Not alone are you the bees knees, you’re the cat’s miaow.
I like the sound of that sextet saxophone !!!
World class !
Amazing performance, respect from France !
A lively interpretation of this piece.
Perfect
What a fabulous performance

Simplesmente fantástico!
What a refreshing and cool version it is with saxophones. Fantastic :-)
Så fantastiskt ! Otroligt duktiga musiker ! I just love them! ❣
Bravissimi
I love this “revisited” version
Circular breathing academy! Beautiful job. Great phrasing soprano and tenor!
Bravo!! What a beautiful performance; I was close to tears. Thank-you so much.
bravo! excellent transcript
Simply beautiful !!!
Bravo!
Sax Barítono é maravilhoso demais !!! 🇧🇷🎷👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻🤪👍🏻
A true miracle.
Believe me.
Superb interpretation, magnificent execution
Wow! You guys rock!
great work! Thanks for posting
Excellent !
Beautiful! Great job all!
Marvelous!😍👏
Hurrah! What a wonderful performance. Really great! Amazing! Enjoyable. When all the six of you simultaneously play in harmony it gives the effect of playing duplication of same of melody with addition of two more notes (keys) on both upper and lower octave on reed organ by using both of the hands. It gives much warmth than quartet and quintet.
great job! sounds lovely!
Extraordinar, felicitari!!!!
Bravos!!!!
Very impressive. I got through the 48 exercises in the Otto Langley saxophone tutor. It took me a whole week to get one exercise perfect. Then l went to my teacher, Charles Chapman, who played the piece transposing ( l was on tenor, he was on alto) and he played it perfectly.l realised that some people are just born with huge talent. I got to a reasonable standard by hard work but just did not have that innate gift. He could sight read anything and had been a great session musician on clarinet and saxes.
No one is born with talent. It is purely the amount of effort put in. It’s easy to look at good musicians that make the hardest of music look easy and think “they had to be born this good”. But nothing is farther from the truth.
Wow... Que excepcional, magnífico, majestuoso, una interpretación pulcra, fina, un deleite para el cerebro , han alimentado mi alma cuando más lo necesitaba. Gracias por compartir su talento, de verdad muchas gracias.
Amazing!
