RAVEL Pavane pour une infante défunte│Nicolas BALDEYROU and friends

Dear Friends, I hope you’re well! I didn’t post any video for quite a long time but I had a very good reason 😁 in addition to my normal activities, I was recording a full symphony orchestra!
I dreamt for a long time to play the beautiful horn solo of « Pavane pour une infante défunte » by Ravel, that was one of the reasons I started to play the French horn 20 years ago, so that’s it, I decided to record the full version with my lovely friends of the @philharmoniquederadiofrance
Thank you so much @magalimosnier @helenedevilleneuve Hugues Anselmo @constanceluzzati Cécile Agator and Nadine Pierre 🙏🏼🔥❤️
Pavane pour une infante défunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess) is a work for solo piano by Maurice Ravel, written in 1899 while the French composer was studying at the Conservatoire de Paris under Gabriel Fauré. Ravel published the orchestral version in 1910. He described the piece as "an evocation of a pavane that a little princess [Infanta] might, in former times, have danced at the Spanish court".[1] The pavane was a slow processional dance that enjoyed great popularity in the courts of Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
The orchestral score was published in 1910. The premiere was given on 27 February 1911 in Manchester, England, conducted by Sir Henry Wood. Reviewing the concert, the critic Samuel Langford called the work "most beautiful" and added, "The piece is hardly representative of the composer, with whom elusive harmonies woven in rapid figuration are the usual medium of expression. In the Pavane we get normal, almost archaic harmonies, subdued expression, and a somewhat remote beauty of melody."
I hope you'll like it and don't hesitate to give me ideas 😁
Take care and stay safe! ❤️

That horn solo is so good it almost makes up for the lack of impossible clarinet solos

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Hahaha thank you 😁 for many years it was an impossible French horn solo for me at least 😱

[@thierrywarot5792]

La hautboiste est fantastique !!!

[@kevinzhengmusic]

How many people in the world can play two unrelated instruments to a perfect recording standard and then engineer elaborate audiovisuals... one Professor desperately deserves more recognition! Bravissimo - et salut, les cordes rares!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Kevin, happy that you like it!

[@taylorhoward443]

He said “I’m not only good at clarinet, I can play some really beautiful french horn too”

One of the most beautiful pieces ever written.

Just amazing that your French horn playing is this beautiful, also! A real testament to your extraordinary musicianship 🤩🎼🎶👏👏🦙🦙🦙🦙

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Dear Cathy, thank you so much and really happy you appreciate my French horn playing, it’s really for fun and I just play at home for my pleasure and reading chamber music with friends :-))

[@AltriToni]

What to say .. the horn solo is wonderful. You are a great Master Nicolas! And congratulations to all 🎵

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you so much again ! 🙏🏼😊

[@dugsdale]

Lucky for me you decided to take up horn all those years ago or I would never have heard this piece AT ALL. Imagine my loss! Thank you

[@louisdunoyer9534]

L'un des plus beaux solos de cor du répertoire joué de la plus belle des manière. Lorsqu'on apprend que le corniste n'est autre que... le clarinettiste Nicolas Baldeyrou, ont est bluffé. Passer de la clarinette au saxo ou au basson: fastoche! Mais pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, outre le fait que sa technique n'a rien en commun avec celle de la clarinette, le cor est l'un des instruments les plus difficiles de l'orchestre. Chapeau bas, Monsieur Baldeyrou!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Mille mercis! Jouer ce solo est un rêve depuis que j’ai débuté le cor il y a plus de 20 ans 😊

[@YouthfulOne]

WOW! I didn’t want it to be over. Just beautiful Nicolas!!! I’ve missed your uploads but this was surely worth the wait. A big thank you to all who shared their gifts with us.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Happy that you like it Julie, thank you!

[@ZiSlepovitch]

So amazingly beautiful, Nicolas. Your horn playing is simply spectacular. Beautiful performance of Ravel's masterpiece.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you dear Zisl! Be careful or I will put more horn in the next videos 😖😁

[@ZiSlepovitch]

Absolutely, Nicolas, - please do! :))))

I am lost for words, so beautifully played by all. I am constantly amazed by your musicianship and your video and sound editing. I think this is the first time you have included full strings, the most previously being double bass. Bravo Nicolas, us mere mortals can only stand back and bask in your glorious talent and wish we were as talented. Thanks for everything that you do, I personally am so grateful for your content. 🙏🙏💖🎶👍👍

Bravo Nicolas, bravo all your friends including Ravel in the background, but who was the distant figure?
I always believed you cannot double a woodwind and brass instrument, it ruins your embouchure, you have thrown that theory out of the window!

So, there IS a way to have several violas play together in tune, and you found it: by cloning them (sorry, orchestral ensemble = orchestral joke ;-). Beauuuutiful rendition of one of my favorite pieces, thank you and bravo to all the artists for their superb musicianship. For a new idea, how about (selected parts of) the second movement of Beethoven's last (No.32) piano sonata ? I started playing with this idea and found some parts very nicely amenable to a clarinet quartet.

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

😂😂😂 the violas 😂😂😂 or asking a very good good violin player to okay the viola ;-)) I will listen again to this sonata for sure, I never remember which sonata is which number... thank you again for the nice suggestion 🙏🏼😊

[@sprcow]

Beautiful! Since you mentioned submitting ideas: Given that you have such lovely oboe, flute, and bassoon-playing friends, I would love to see your take on some woodwind quintet repertoire! Have you ever played the Quintet by Elinor Remick Warren? A delightful and substantial neo-romantic quintet that has no recordings anywhere at all online. My friends and I played it and found it quite satisfying, and you'd be guaranteed to have the best performance of it on youtube!

[@nicolasbaldeyrou1]

Thank you Alex and I’m very curious about this piece, I should definitely have a look! Very interesting!

[@sprcow]

@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 It was quite a surprise! I just stumbled across it flipping through scores at the music store and could find almost no information about it! It was strangely exciting having no reference recordings to even know what it was 'supposed' to sound like.
Warren was mostly a vocal and piano composer, but as she advanced in her career she wanted to start writing orchestral parts, and decided to compose this WW5 as a way to help her learn how to write for the woodwind section in the orchestra. Premiered by the San Francisco Woodwind Quintet in 1937.
Our copy was Masters Music publication (c)2004 edited by Clark McAlister and the parts were good. It was a lot of fun!
