(finished the video) Oh my god. At some points, this didn't even sound like saxophone (in a good way). I've never heard a sax quartet sound this nice. That alto player's intonation was perfect.. ALL of the players' intonation was perfect.. I'm just mind blown right now. Jesus Christ.
Ok as a classically trained musician and that I LOVE this piece of music.. it is my all time fave. I will be honest and say I was not sure how this would sound but OH WOOOOOWWWWWWW I LOVE IT. WELL DONE!!!! a MILLION THUMBS UP
To najlepsze wykonanie jakie odsłuchałem na tej stronie. Kapitalnie trzymane tempo. Gracie Panowie z ogniem, energicznie, tak jak właśnie trzeba grać Haendla. Bravo - proszę o więcej interpretacji. raphaw
my sax quartet(we are in high school) did this last year and I thought we did a pretty good interpretation of this but you guys are INCREDIBLE!!! The pitch is soooo consistent and the tone as individuals and as an ensemble is phenomenal
You have opened the door of the healing room You'll start to feel more comfortable by now while listening to this masterpiece they play with exquisite skill and wonderful technique
I expected something really naff when I saw those four guys, but wow! absolutely fantastic. I couldn't believe that saxes could make that sound. Well done Amethyst quartet
Wonderful!! I played this on flute with my best friend (who was on violin) for my 6th grade talent show. It is a super fun piece. These guys did great!
Lovely, amazing, awsome!!!!! I realy admire the skills you all show by playing this piece. Those fast notes with (as far as I heared) not one false note in it. You guys make me feel the exciting: The queen is coming! Well done, and Bravo!
Love this - especially as a violist and a saxophone player. I definitely can recognize its difficulty on a saxophone vs. a string instrument. This is so well-played, I love it!
Perfect work guys. Well done. Right tonality and pitch, which is rare in brass. I' d prefer it slightly slower, though, as it was written for a queen who would walk slow pace into the palace. Keep it up!
This was surprisingly good! I usually don't think much of the saxophone family, but this was really, really great, and the sound of the saxes suited this baroque tune very well!
exceptional technical prowess! I know saxophones can play very soft tones but to tone down after 0.30 to such a soft level together as an ensemble with discipline in the articulation and control is amazing!
My ensemble, after long consideration of how difficult it might be after hearing you guys play it fast and beautiful, have decided to do this ensemble. I have a feeling that it's going to be challenging but I think we can do it. Great video by the way! Been looking at this ensemble since last year. Finally doing it!
That soprano sax player can sit uncannily still. Every time he moves for taking a breath after playing for 30 seconds or so like a manikin, my heart drops for a moment like "omg it lives!" Beside that, these people eat, breathe, and live saxoperfection.

+cyph2111 Something moderately comparable could be Canadian Brass's rendition?
14 years later and this is still my favorite performance - absolutely magnificent!

I wanna hear your alto player on Tableaux de Provence. He has a phenomenal tone!
TheSaxAppeal I'll make sure to let Sean know! Thanks for watching!
Their exquisite performance is overwhelming clear and comfortable to the ear and the mind
Perfect work guys. Well done. Right tonality and pitch, which is rare in brass. I'
d prefer it slightly slower, though, as it was written for a queen who would walk slow pace into the palace. Keep it up!
This just blows me away every time! It's such a unique version, and just perfectly exectuted! Remarkable talent, all of you :)
Bloody amazing!
badass performance!
I love saxophone chamber music, I think it's sad how the saxophone is never thought of as a classical instrument. Excellent job
This was surprisingly good! I usually don't think much of the saxophone family, but this was really, really great, and the sound of the saxes suited this baroque tune very well!
exceptional technical prowess! I know saxophones can play very soft tones but to tone down after 0.30 to such a soft level together as an ensemble with discipline in the articulation and control is amazing!
Excellent playing, well done.
absolutely impeccable! wonderful job you four! one of the best arrangements I've heard yet :)
Awesome.

Salinas, you are very great!

Excellent performance! Saludos desde Colombia!
