It is really a damn shame that saxophones are the “black sheep” of the woodwinds, especially in “”professional”” orchestral settings. They are so overlooked and maligned yet have amazing capacity for virtuosity and emotion alike, like you have displayed. Bravo!
It's people like this that we need more of to change that perception. It took decades even centuries for instruments to earn their place. The saxophone has done well.
What an amazing performance! The beauty of your tone is just amazing. The altissimo parts are played with such sweetness and clarity yet the low A notes strikes with huge power and depth. Your technique is brilliant and all that with great artistry and creativity. A true virtuoso.
@@maximebazerque-baritonesax6198 Merci, j` damires beaucoup ton travail et ton talent. Mes bonjours de Pologne, tu m` inspire a aller plus loin avec mon saxophone.
Do you work the reeds? What kind of facing is that S90? 3 sounds soft if you're going to do any work to it. Really dug the slap tongue. Mostly clean run. Good job!
@@justapersonscrollingby753 then again, everyone is so worried about getting to (let's face it - blue box) 3.5s that we can be closed minded about simple preferences. At least in the classical world. Interested if jazz players bother to be uppity about reed strength
I think baritone sax is the "Magnum Opus" of saxophones and possibly even woodwinds altogether. It's big enough to hit impactful lows and keep rhythm but just small enough to have altissimo with extreme clarity (given someone can control it). A truly versatile and beautiful instrument. Fantastic performance, sir!
The main reason for lack of saxophone in the classical genre, is the pitch of the available saxophones; there are no quality saxophones in the Concert key of C, only in Bb and Eb. Bb and Eb saxes are more suited for marching bands, not classical orchestra. Thus the saxophone family is missing a melodic centre, which is important in composing for a family of instruments.
Damn son! After 30 years of not playing, I just purchased a new Bari and have started practicing again. Inspiring to find and listen to your playing. Keep up the fantastic work of being at the top of your craft and inspiring others to do the same!
This guy is like a god in my eyes… I’ve been playing baritone for almost 10 years practicing like a maniac and I haven’t been able to have a single speck of the control this man has over his register… he’s just amazing in my humble opinion
Amazing playing!!!! I come to this video multiple times a day, shows how much I need to do as a player myself. The best saxophone I've played was a serie III but I have never played a II. In your opinion, which is better as I want to get my own professional tenor.
Oh my goodness!!! I have been recently taking bari sax up again after many years playing tenor and I am blown away at the control you have over your tone, technique and especially the dynamics. Simply amazing!!!! Thanks for posting....it is so inspiring to hear and see this!
je suis née aussi avec le nom de famille Bazerque et c'est pour cela que je suis allée regarder sur you tube....tout simplement émouvant , sublime et envoutant .. un grand merci pour ce partage ....j'attends avec impatience de pouvoir vous entendre dans une salle .....salut (petit cousin....) à très bientot et encore bravo
To display a big range of overtones flagiolettes is a sign of great skill! It also helps to understand the greatness of baritone in form of tonal depth and contrast.
absolutly beautiful, as a sax player this is just insane the control just astounds me. pls keep this up. (i have never heard overtones used like that before)
Hey, there is a "Nicolò Paganini: 24 Capricci for Saxophone Solo" (alto and soprano, alternating) out there, arranged by Raaf Hekkema. He noted and Caprice No. 24 in Eb almost exactly as to be played similar to this performance, including tremolo, sung notes and slap tongue articulation etc. Good luck finding it, I guess it can be purchased though. Edit: Spelling
First off im highschool and play bari and this is the best ive heard the instrument played. Second does anyone know where i might be able to find the music
Actually at first i couldn't believe that he could play it. Because people even can't play it on violin. But then i thought how can make a playback without a record someone playing it. Haha. A true hard work and talent. Perfect. Thank you for letting us listening this beautiful piece on sax♡
Your sound on Bari Sax is amazing! If you already have had the opportunity to play on both S90 and S80 mouthpieces, what's the difference between them? I mean, about easy blowing, sound control, tone, etc. And what about the tip oppening, S90 200 must be heavy blowing? Regards from Brazil!
Thank you for your comment ! I had s90 170 and 180 before, there are both very good mouthpieces, but a bit closed for me. With my 200, I have the same control, but with a larger sound 😊
![Alexander Markov plays Paganini's 24th Caprice [HQ]](/img/n.gif)
every bari sax player knows how much talent this took! incredible tone and control!
Haha thanks 🙏
bro i shit myself in the first 5 seconds. Damn!
i got jumpscared by the tonguing in the first 5 seconds
It's practice , a lot of hard practice , talent it's just like fast learning
A lot. that is a fact.

This is very illuminating: th-cam.com/video/BsfPS7pXg1E/w-d-xo.html
fuck saxophones worst instruments out there
the baritone sax is so cello like in classical music.
The level of control in the high register is absolutely fantastic! It would make Sigurd Rascher proud! 🎷
Thanks 🙏
I would definitely pay to come and listen to an entire concert featuring you.
Oh thank you ☺️
I have never seen this kind of control on saxophone. Incredible!
Thank you !! 😊🙏
Just one of the best performances on baritone sax i've ever heard. Thanks, i really enjoyed it!
Thank you 🙏🙏

One of the cleanest tones in a bari Sax I’ve ever heard. What’s your setup?
Thank you so much ! Saxophone Selmer série II, Selmer s90 200 mouthpiece, ligature JLV, Vandoren 3 reeds 😊
Do you work the reeds? What kind of facing is that S90? 3 sounds soft if you're going to do any work to it.
Really dug the slap tongue. Mostly clean run. Good job!
First thing I noticed was the super clean upper register at the beginning.
@@itsmikehaydensince the Selmer 90 200 mouthpiece opening is bigger, he might use a softer reed

Fantastic performance, sir!
*low C extension bass clarinet enters chat*
I love how you found a saxophone way to interpret double stops and pizzicato. Fantastic!
Literally such a smooth tone I nearly mistake it for a horn at some points, so cool to hear!
Great job playing 2 octaves at the same time. I don't think I ever could do that on my alto! :)
he is singing the other. the "original" is for alto. raaf hekkema transcribed it for himself.
Wow that was amazing. comes to show how saxophone can be a classical instrument, not just for jazz.
Yeah so true !
sad how modern orchestras reject it even though it was intended to be used in orchestras
@@thenotoriusbpnice name

Your know-how on bari-sax is just
*magnificent*

It literally sounds like you’re seamlessly switching between an alto, tenor, and bari. So incredible
That slap tounging though. Respect, man.
Haha thanks! 😊
This just reminded me why the bari is my favorite instrument. Playing it is a dream of mine I am yet to achieve.
Yeah best instrument !!!
i like this version a lot it sounds really good in c minor good job
Thanks 🙏
The absolute beauty of this , it deserves to be seen by saxophone players everywhere , and you deserve not only my subscription , but many , many more
Thank you so much ! 😊
I can't comprehend the amount of practice this took. Man really nice playing bro.
Wow, the high notes were great!
Thank you 🙏
Very nice work. Your altissimo tone was crystal clear.
Excellent performance. You are a great saxophonist, lots of congratulations.
Thank you 🙏
Videos like this make me really love my instrument
Thanks 🙏
Amazing virtuosity! Loved the concurrent singing and playing!
wow as someone who plays bari this is beyond impressive this is unbelievable
espectacular, mucho virtusismo del parte de musico....saludos Maxime bazerque desde Andacollo, Chile
Wonderful ! What a great know how we have now for the saxophone !
Thank you 🙏

Incroyable performance !
Pourriez vous joindre un pdf de votre arrangement svp ?
Wow...well done sir!!!
I played bari in high school...brings back memories!
Congratulations from Brazil. Amazing sound. The best I have ever heard. I have played baritone sax for 10 years, but I have not played more.
Oh thank you, that’s very kind!
That upper register just sounds sounds so good.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful sound!It's great to hear a different approach to playing the baritone.

Uaaaaalllll 👏😯 Incrível! Parabéns Belo Som!!! Bela Interpretação
Thank you Arthur ! 😊

Fantastic! A true berserker on the horn!
Damn! that multiphonics control makes you a Devil's Saxophonist as much as Paganini was a Devil's Violinist. Awesome!
I used to play the Barisax and this is making me miss it even more
Je vous découvre grâce à notre amie commune Alexia Pujol. Votre transcription est décoiffante et votre interprétation... A-MA-ZING !
what sax and mouthpiece is this? Lovely sound! It sounds like multiple saxes in one because of the wide tone warmth and clarity.
This is superb!
Thank you 🙏
Absolutely incredible.
I’m actually in disbelief. This is so incredible!
That tone is woah.
Vraiment super bravo à vous !
Merci beaucoup !
Excelente safonista ! Brillante !!
Donde se puede conseguir la partitura ? Gracias 🙏
How I can hardly play low C at moderate speed
Magnifique !
Merci !
Amazing! Bravo!!!
That’s wonderful, Maxime! Always enjoy listening to your playing!
Thank you so much Frank !

This is absolutely amazing! Have you released a CD? Also, why do you set the ligature so far out on the mouthpiece? Thank you!
Thank you! It’s in my future projects...
This ligature can be placed in several places on the mouthpiece, depending on the reed!
it’s my new year’s resolution to learn this.
Amazing range
Thanks !
Gorgeous!
Amazing performance.
Thanks !
Your sound on Bari Sax is amazing!
If you already have had the opportunity to play on both S90 and S80 mouthpieces, what's the difference between them? I mean, about easy blowing, sound control, tone, etc.
