I have been listening to this video for 7 months now, preparing for my last senior performance at the Texas solo contest, Houston Underground. Rest in Peace André Waignein, you have made the most beautiful musical piece I have ever heard, and Simon Diricq, you are the player that has made me want to play this instrument for my career, and for the rest of my life!
the opening line in the saxophone for this piece as well as the intro from the orchesra are so god damned beautiful, Andre Weignein you did a phenomenal job composing this
I started playing the saxophone not long ago and although I will certainly never get anywhere near this level of excellence, the beauty of this music and the perfection of the performance are inspiring and motivating for me. This is why I started playing Alto-Sax! I will come back to this video any time when I feel too tired or frustrated to practice. ❤
Hey Kalender. I'm a 22 year old (been playing for almost 10 years haha but I stopped for about 2 years in the middle) and now I'm learning this piece. Quite well actually. The high notes are legitimate challenges, especially when it's so fast. I thought it was SO ABOVE my skill level even as an experienced player who went through many concerts, many failures and sucesses along the way but now it's been going well for me. I'm telling you it's possible! If you truly love the instrument, keep playing!
@@davewang4369 you move me to tears. Ever considered composing anything, being creative? The piece above is not innovative, harmonically reactionary and Debussy was far ahead of this decades before. Technical demand is not everything. It is dead white music. Btw. 'high notes' you can also produce on the flute, only idiots torture themselves with playing in chaotic makeshift registers on the sax.
@@davewang4369 nice comment, I'm your age and kinda in the same boat. I had a gap in the middle and not the best practice routine for a while but as I start to believe in myself a bit more and actually try pieces like this, I find my practice skills improve along the way. Ever check out the Creston Concerto? It doesn't have as much altissimo as this but it's probably just as hard overall and is a gorgeous composition. Trust me, the altissimo passages are worth the effort! It's very satisfying to tackle those intense moments, and contrary to popular belief it's quite doable over time.
When I hear this again reminds me of the Covid lock down at home in 2020 as I was listening to this everyday, what a difficult yet memorable experience.
Does anyone know the publisher of this particular arrangement? I can only seem to find the wind band accompaniment version. Any help is much appreciated from the TH-cam hivemind; thank you!
I love everything about this piece...I often wonder how composers wrote such complex pieces without computers. The orchestra is superb...and wonderful acoustics.. The saxophonist is stellar. I note the long fingers...maybe that's why I've never played well. My fingers are too short. :)
How do you get this video? I mean this video is from Adolphe Sax Competition. But even the official account doesn't have this 4k resolution and perfect audio quality version. No matter how you get this one, it's really a good job uploading to TH-cam. Thank you, good sir.
But don’t think that just because he sounds on the a28 amazing that you eill too. Try it, maybe you will like it. I tried it and it requires too much time investing. Play on what you think you will sound the best one day
This is truly the most beautiful thing I have ever listened to
It's is absolutely and truly stunning
🧢🧢🧢🧢🧢
Cade Domangue you probably have no idea who Otis Murphy is if you think this is amazing😂
Mc Lovin' and you’ve obviously ever heard of the cool cat shuffle
@@adrianguev1294 I personally prefer Tim McAllister but its whatever
almost all of the saxophone at these competitions have such pure tone.
Ben Taylor probably wouldn’t have gotten there in the first place if they didn’t
Kidding -- I think that they probably PRACTICE....and maybe even REHEARSE.......
@Keanan -- Well, sure, of course.....they MUST be distinguished (or otherwise differentiated) from SHORT TONES....or else....we can't be responsible for the consequences......
it is the fascist, null homotopic aesthetics of 'classical music.'
it is how white people want their world, clean and sanitized. It is fascist aesthetics.
his tone is so incredible, he makes a piece like this seem easy
I agree. It's definitely a brighter tone than most classical players, but it's more crisp and clean in my opinion.
I have been listening to this video for 7 months now, preparing for my last senior performance at the Texas solo contest, Houston Underground.

Omg wait didnt you win 💀
Damnnn good job man
How much time of practice does this take?
@@imautistic3791 a lot.
the opening line in the saxophone for this piece as well as the intro from the orchesra are so god damned beautiful, Andre Weignein you did a phenomenal job composing this
Whoever made this piece is a genius, this is the song that made me truly fall in love with classical music.
André Waignein, Belgian composer 1942-2015.
At first I didn't like it, but now I can't stop listening to it. There are other versions on TH-cam as well, but Simon Diricq did an incredible job.
Molto fine, e perfezionato
just wait till you hear it on bari sax. even more magical
一体何がどうなったらこんな音色になるんだ…美しい。
Second movement 5:32
Third movement 10:23
Thanks bro. Also the oboe solo here is so nice.
I like the way Simon looks at the conductor at 0:10
he’s getting mogged
I can't stop LAUGHING
I adore the opening to this
The combination of talent and hard-working
Extraordinario concierto, excelente sonido, gran ejecución técnica y matices bien definidos. Mi admiración.
This shi BUSSIN SHEEEEEESH POGGERS

@@leviataen which saxophonist shit in your coffee 🙄
This just blows my mind- I could never imagine being able to play as well and advanced as him-bravo
rest in peace André Waignein
The best …after Marcel Mule…only my taste.
When I hear this again reminds me of the Covid lock down at home in 2020 as I was listening to this everyday, what a difficult yet memorable experience.
Fantastic performance of a wonderful Piece. BRAVO!
Did I see him using circular breathing?
i believe so, there’s a 15 measure run of notes, that i figure would need circular breath; i could be wrong though
The first minute of that second movement is magical. Thank you.
縫うような音が印象的です。オーケストラの響きもホールの響きもよい。
Très grand Bravo Simon formidable super génial dans cette pièce très belle composition de André Waignien .encore félicitation .
Amazing performance by Simon Diricq! I am I just seeing things or is he using a German clarinet style tied string ligature??
Vandoren Klassik
SUPER!!! MAGIC!!!!!
An incredible performance.
Does anyone know the publisher of this particular arrangement? I can only seem to find the wind band accompaniment version. Any help is much appreciated from the TH-cam hivemind; thank you!
here ya go
This is THE best performance of this piece i have yet to hear
HE SMILED AT 1:55 AW
Muito lindo parabéns, meu filho Paulo Félix toca muito essa melodia. Vcs são fera
Is he famous yet?
Thanks for the introduction to the piece, composer and soloist.
Невероятно прекрасно! И Симон Дирик, и оркестр, и, конечно же, сама Рапсодия. Браво!!
"A magnificent piece and a superb interpretation." 👏👏👏
c'est mon petit cousin !!!! et je suis tout simplement émue lorsque je l'écoute ....bravo
Amazing
I love everything about this piece...I often wonder how composers wrote such complex pieces without computers. The orchestra is superb...and wonderful acoustics.. The saxophonist is stellar. I note the long fingers...maybe that's why I've never played well. My fingers are too short. :)
This piece is from 10 years ago, there were computers
Mind blowing!

amazes me how any person can stay sane trying to play the 3rd movement of this piece. its ludicrous

What kind of ligature is that?

Ye Vandoren Klassik, I use one in my concept, love it.
Spellbinding!

Impressionnant :x
How much time of practice does this take?
2:15 is this beep or correct note?
i believe that that’s an overblown altissimo g but i don’t remember the sheet music precisely and could be completely wrong
