Amazing that you get all this color without strings . The one solo doublebass can generate a lot of bass register even with a large ensemble . I will be listening to ths work a lot .I hope to learn lots and maybe write for a solo brass or wind instrument myself. It makes me want to rewrie much I've done with orchestral writing once . I feel less limited after the beautiful haunting 2nd movement so much is wonderful all over this work !
This is absolutely incredible music! My admiration to the composer, soloist, conductor and orchestra. Not at all an easy work but so incredibly musical and conceptually brilliant! Thank you for this work!
Just wonderful. A dense and exciting work that I might call "third stream". I can't imagine putting together this much ink, as Professor Luloff did. Bravo.
Wonderful work .Fantastic orchestration and ideas ! Will be looking for score as I'm a pianist and violinist but am studying orchestration and love the textures and lines and counterlines here. Brilliant work - i hope it gets played a lot and you become as well known as Corigliano . I adored the 2nd movement especially .!
i think the reason for joe lulloff's underratedness is simply donald sinta. since sinta is from the same generation (about 10 years older than lulloff), and he was a sax professor in the same state (university of michigan in sinta's case). its tough to be extraordinarily appreciated when the possibly greatest classical saxophonist of all time is just 1 hour away. when the rest of this generation of players is fully retired (steve mauk, bob black, john sampen etc),there wont be a lot of players remaining who are capable of playing this piece. i'm 54 , and i have less optimism than some regarding the generation coming up behind me. (at least regarding classical saxophonists).
I think in terms of greatest classical sax player, Rascher and Mule have the upper hand. I never hear of Donald Sinta until recently but Sigurd and Marcel are know by every classical saxophonist.
@@bobmatt5175 well she is obviously european, where they dont show american players enough respect. sure everyone has heard of mule and rascher. mule lived to be 100, spent more than a generation at the paris conservatory, wrote etude books, contributed to the development of the selmer mark 6, etc. rascher commissioned so much of our literature, and developed new performance techniques. other candidates would include londeix,hemke, and larry teal. regardless of their other contributions, beyond their playing, i strongly nominate sinta as the simply best classical alto player. im not wrong simply because she didnt know him, and im not wrong simply because europe thinks america has insufficient culture. her original comment "mule and rascher have the upper hand " got no response from me because its beside the point who she has heard of. more people KNOW defayette than sampen,delibero, or black, but the lesser known players are better than d. defayette. regarding "worth half their salt", try to keep in mind she is probably a younger player and taught in a prejudicial environment.
In the first piece it was crazy how fast his fingers moved and how you could never tell when he was taking a breath, but in the first and second piece I felt like there were just a bunch of unnessicary fast parts that were impressive but didnt sound very good, like there were just a bunch of random notes it sounded like, also in the second piece I felt like it was very slow and boring for the first 3 minutes because literally nothing happened, the rest was very boring too and there were like 3 good jazzy parts that sounded good. In the third piece I liked how dramatic it was and it actually was exiting, and sounded good throughout the entire song, especialy starting at 24:00 and going until 24:40 it just sounded incredible.
just helping out with your terminology for art music here bro. its all 1 piece, not, the first ,second and third pieces. those sections are called movements, but the "bryant concerto for alto saxophone" is 1 piece. also, at one point you said "the whole song". always remember songs must have words. purely instrumental music is never a song. terms that could have worked there are section, and movement. a solo within a movement (where the wind ensemble stops playing completely, and its just the soloist) is called a cadenza.
It is God who Giveth the All... You can and will play better than Him if you rely on God, Hard work and Practice... More so, if he trains you..Never say Never..
The player whoever HE /She be does get to wail a whale of a tempo.!! NOT my cup of coffee, but fascinating nevertheless ! LONG may it continue !! LOL ! AND BE DAMNED !! LOL !!! I do prefer the bouncy text of John Adam's 'The Chairman Dance's' with IT'S vibrant score akin to Debussy, Ravel and sundry others who are of THAT ilk !! Superb IS THE WORD for al of them, no exceptions !

Absolutely amazing. Can't wait for Dr. Luloff to come to the Oklahoma Saxophone Workshop!

this is so amazing his tone quality makes me explode because it so good

Easily hardest saxophone piece I have ever heard
Absolutely incredible, I had the pleasure of listening to this live at NASA in March, it was incredible.
Stunning performance!

Yes. The orchestration is amazing on this. I love high end wind ensemble music as it just has a different quality.
now that's talent right there!
Very cool piece
THAT IS INSANE!!!!!!! Joseph Lulloff is probably the only player in the world that can play that!!!
But was something wrong with the ending?
Yeah. He forgot to “set his horn on fire and fly away with jet pack”
You better play that sax... sound good
13:37 that note....

Any saxophonist worth half their salt is familiar with Sinta

But.... But...
You didn't set your horn on fire on fly away with your jet pack!
+Sanjay Pandiri XDDDDD
only those that have searched for the score and seen the music know what this means lol
My professor just performed this with Northwestern wind symphony and i saw the music. its so crazy
Apesar de essas "percussões" que naturalmente acontecem num ataque rápido das notas do sax, ficou muito bom, eu inclusive achei legal esses estalos.
Realmente muito bom, Chama se slap tongue se não me engano...
Sax(em geral) é um instrumento muito completo cara...!!
Wow haven't heard a growl in classical before
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WoWw

HOW
I liked it, but some of the pauses were so long that it got awkward
I can tell you right now, as an Alto Saxophonist, I will NEVER be able to play like this guy...
It is God who Giveth the All... You can and will play better than Him if you rely on God, Hard work and Practice... More so, if he trains you..Never say Never..
One of my sax professors is one of his former students. :-)
Love his playing, technique and tone! However, can't get past the dance routines!

John Jenkins what???
I think the speed is not right..the video has been sped up! Notice at the way he moves fgs...(or look at the trombones)
Dimos nothing is wrong with the speed, just talent that is nearly incomparable
