In the US, it seems that "serious" music students are always steered from baritone to euphonium once they are big enough. But Leen makes a really good case for baritone. How does she get such a full rich sound while sitting cross-legged on the floor? As a 68 year old with the usual arthritic joints for my age, I'm in awe. What a stupendous duet, it blends magnificently.
My experience is that "serious" music students are steered away from both instruments in favor of the trombone or tuba on the theory that it is hard to make a living as a professional baritonist/euphonist. I play baritone, so the only reason why they let me into community orchestras is because I also play cello.
@@johnries5593 An apt observation. There are a bunch of standard jokes (of which I remember neither the set-ups nor the punch lines) about euphers and baritonists and they all have to do with the inability of both to make a living playing their instruments. In the US at least, perhaps what school band directors do is a kindness. There is a very finite number of college/university jobs for euphonium/baritone professors. And yes, playing cello does open more doors. Anyhow, Ms. Vandenhende's playing is spectacular and we can agree on that.
I'm a euph/bari player and have never understood the lack of solos for the bari ....well certainly compared to the euph , i just steal them off the euphs like this one .
Bravo! Best wishes as you reconnect with music making with friends once again. Our lives are blessed by what you've shared these past months. God bless.
