      Grandissima tecnica, molto bravo, ma il risultato è lo stesso di quando noi Italiani cerchiamo di swingare. È proprio una questione di mentalità, modo di parlare, il fraseggio di Verdi.......i clarinetti da 0.38 😭

    • @jacobbass6437
      @jacobbass6437 4 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      ꧁IceOfPhoenix꧂. A horn is just any instrument that is hollow and you blow through that has a mouthpiece. So saxes are horns, trumpets are horns, flutes are not horns. Usually in an orchestra, horns refer to french horns, but the general term applies in a lot of places.

  • @chauncywashington2227
    @chauncywashington2227 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Exquisite! Mr. Lowenstern is perhaps the most accomplished bass clarinetist of our age. It's not just the instrument that makes his playing to be unrivaled. He would sound quite good on a plastic Bundy with leaks and bad pads. The man makes the horn. The horn does not make the man!

  • @jamesperdue8355
    @jamesperdue8355 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32
