I saw what you did there, with the opening and closing music. Did you record that, or is it commercially available? Also, listening to Graf makes me want to hear him conduct....you're fortunate, James!
Yep I recorded it a couple months ago, it's on my Instagram (@slimzim) so I just recycled it. If you're ever able to hear Hans Graf conduct, I highly recommend it - I've worked with him four times and each time has been wonderful and educational. I agree with you that I'm fortunate to work with people like him, and therefore I feel a sense of obligation to pass on what he freely shared with me. Hopefully it keeps this art form alive. There was so much other great conversation in the interview, I wish I could've included it all.
2:50 Wait, how do you know that? That's a pretentious and unfounded statement. Don't presume to know how & how much I appreciate something compared to someone else.
It's not pretentious and unfounded; it comes from years of experience with younger players, musicians, etc and observing their attitudes. I had a similar experience, which is why I can relate to what James said, and it seems evident that you have not had the experience. To give you an example, before TH-cam, I used to make recordings of all of the major clarinet solo and chamber repertoire for my private students. I noticed as the years passed (I taught for 45 years) that the students valued those recording less and less, until it got to the point where I no longer made them the full set (it was a dozen cassette tapes) unless they asked, and they rarely did. When I first started making those sets, it was only Mozart, Weber, and Brahms, and the students were excited to have them. I know I would have loved to have had such a resource when I was a young student. The too-easy access to the materials made them take them for granted.
Is not only that Ravel was like a child, he makes you feel like a child, from those days in which you believe in magic.
I agree - he stayed childlike in his imagination. His music is full of wonder and curiosity.
What ever happened to this channel? Content was so good.
Sadly, James doesn’t work for Nashville Symphony or Clarinet Jobs anymore 🙁
@@musokid89 Yeah, so I've learned since this was posted. This could have been the most epic clarinet youtube series evah.
Very interesting! Thanks for the video!
I got to watch this performance with my best friend! I absolutely loved the performance!
Me too! Doing the whole piece with a full chorus is a great opportunity.
James, this is such a great video. Keep them coming! Congrats.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
