Wonderful performance. My mother was a member of the chorus one summer at Tanglewood under the baton of "Lenny" as the orchestra called out when he stepped on stage for a rehearsal. Years ago the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra had programmed a Bernstein Festival with Mr. Bernstein in attendance. I was a member of the symphony Chorus at the time so I was able to see him in the box seats (a very short man).
I loved this so much! It was really fun and creative. I watched it a few times and was trying to figure out what clarinets everyone was playing on! That was a whole lot of incredible talent on one screen. I am going to go and cry in the corner of my closet now. Even with an old bachelors of music degree I am not nearly up to the level of these amazing players!
The “Why a flute” was so perfect because i wasn’t looking at the video, and when i heard the flute, i asked to my self “why a flute?”, and the screen said the same. You are a music magician! -bravo from TX
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Hello from Vilnius. I am curious about your classes.... how to possibly arrange. I noticed Stasys Makstutis is a student. My son, Mykolas Kuan Keys, age 14, is doing VERY well at Ciurlionis Music School in Vilnius, and just placed 2nd place in the Latvian Riga MednisCompetition. We, his parents, are poets with little talent in music, and so he has come a long way... could you send me the particulars on how "Myki" might take lessons from You. Best regards, Kerry Kerry Shawn Keys
Nicolas Baldeyrou My concert band was learning this before everything was shut down and the rest of the year got cancelled. I’ve mostly been playing the lyrical or pop pieces we were learning and pushing this aside. With this video popping up, I could hide from it no more! Hearing how good this sounds, and having the means to achieve that, but choosing not to would just be foolish. Playing clarinet might make me a fool, but that doesn’t mean I play it foolishly! So once again, thank you for the awesome motivation!
Violinist here and I can’t say enough as to how much I loved this!!! I have the mental image of Bernstein iconically directing the NY Phil to this overture as the video played. That e flat clarinetist going into piccolo register..what?? 😱 And thank you for the laughs too: bass clarinet just chilling in bed, random guy with cat and mask.. lol. Great production!
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Oh yeah! :D I love his style. I also admire Yuri Simonov and, of course, my countryman, who loved France and even died there, Sergiu Celibidache.
GLORIOUS performance!!! Coached several civic youth high-school honors ww sections on this work back in the day, BUT not at these tempos! Wow! If you've never heard the opera, see if you can find the Bernstein's New York Philharmonic performance on-line. AMAZING..........
I watched you play Carmen Fantaisie on Vandoren's channel, and ever since then, I've been in awe of your clarinet ability. I also love how you are so engaged with the community, something that not a lot of people do. Thanks for all you do. ~a fellow high school clarinetist
Delightful. Beautiful playing. Special praise goes to the e-flat clarinet player👏👏. As a former orchestral clarinetist, I praise you very talented players (and especially your teacher). You bring me great joy and fill my heart with happiness. Bless you all for making an old man very happy.
Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! You are happiness makers!! Just wonderful. Keep bringing the world together and keep 'em coming. With great big hugs, from a fan in Virginia, U.S.
What a great video! I love how it started with the conductor and the clarinets, but then a few other instruments trickled in. Great effects are always key. You're all very talented, and I was impressed! I started conducting along with the melody, because I just love this piece so much. Great job, and well wishes!
I love this so much! I have mentioned before that I was part of a Double Reed class when I played Oboe at the University of Oregon. This Clarinet Class in amazing. I love Candid. This performance is clean, exciting, and beautifully played. Bravo!
Great ! Very nice arrangement. I got the image of Bernstein conducting this in my mind. And I suspect so did you..... the eyebrows on the cymbalbeats is something he also did.
Incredible playing and great arrangement! Fantastic E-flat player! Is it possible to send a copy of your arrangement? I Would love to play it with my colleagues!
Splendide, vraiment merveilleux! Did you know that a shortened version was used as the theme song for an American late-night talk show hosted by Dick Cavett?
Holy monkies this is incredible. Loved it! But why no iconic trills in the descending lines towards the beginning and elsewhere in the recurring lines?
Bravo! And the Eb is even in tune! I remember colleagues singing my praise of my Eb clarinet playing saying how well in tune I play! Gigliotti response was , ‘Playing Eb in tune is the first step to a good player’
Thank you again John ! I think Gigliotti was completely right, playing in tune, smoothly, and being to able to blend with such a difficult instrument is clearly showing that you achieved something 😁
My college senior music ed major son recently acquired a new Buffet Festival Bb horn and a excellent grad student used Buffet Festival A horn with Tosca carbon fiber double case.
@nicolasbaldeyrou1: un grand merci pour votre chaîne, c'est toujours un immense plaisir de vous écouter. Je cherche à faire une vidéo similaire sur une autre partition pour faire une surprise à un ancien prof de clarinette mais les anciens élèves sont rebutés par la difficulté technique de l'exercice (avoir 2 téléphones notamment, qualité de la capture son déplorable sur certains téléphones, difficulté à suivre le tempo dans les accelérés...). Qu'avez-vous donné aux étudiants en plus des partitions pour que tout soit bien synchronisé ? Quel matériel ont-ils utilisé pour s'enregistrer ? Et comment avez-vous fait le montage pour tout recaler aux petits oignons ? Merci et bravo
BRAVOOOO! Encore bravo pour ce beau spectacle! C'est juste incroyable de voir tous ces musiciens à des kilomètres jouez à l'unisson... Par contre,vous m'avez fait rire pour la flûte!WHY?😂😂😂 Non mais voilà. C'est comme d'hab avec vous. Du spectacle. Merci pour ce bel ouvrage. Bravo à ces merveilleux musiciens. Merci😉😉😉😉😉
Une nouvelle fois merci pour ces bonnes ondes et cette bienveillance, ça fait plaisir ! La technologie a du bon pour ce genre de choses, garder le lien et faire des jolis projets 😊

@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 im a clarinet player too before,but i no longer play cause my instrument sucks,not smooth to use,even though i do not play clarinet,in my heart this is the sound that i really love,the music of clarinet,and its bringing me back to play clarinet again,maybe i wont play but i will surely listen,how i wish you make a cover of carnival of venice,rigoletto or rondo alla turca,either of the three,it has always been my desire to become a great player like you,its not for the money,fame,but for the passion for music,Godbless you sir,i love your music!
I'm used to hear the Boeykens clarinet choir a lot. Also in later years with his many Japanese students and the choir of Hideaki Iwai. But they never managed to get this full and even sound.
No extra applause for the magical Eb clarinet player? Bravissimo for his epic solos!

My best regards! Very Nice!!

Rob Wargo thank you Rob ! 🙏😊✨
No such thing as a former clarinettist; only a lapsed one. 🤗🎶
I love that you actually took the time to put the flat sign instead of just writing Bb Clarinette in the credits!
Everything is in the details ;-))
You totally surpassed TwoSetViolin guys greatest expectations by giving clarinet lessons ti Li(ng) Ling herself. Fabulous!

Just a little hint of Maestro Valery Gergiev conducting with a stereo toothpick! Fabulous work Nicolas!

This looks like so much fun. Not only do they sound good, the players look like they had fun
Excellent! The e-flat clarinet player in particular is outstanding. Brava/bravo to all!

Amazing performance - and a special applause for the french horns at 4:06 :-))
Thank you so much Robert, even if it’s just my hobby 😁😇
Mr. Baldeyrou, you have created a new art form. Well done and waiting for more.
This is terrific! Variety of color and texture with a touch of insolence. Lenny is applauding from the heavens.
I would love to imagine that ! Thank you so much :-)))
Maravilhoso!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
This deserves more audience, is incredibly well done!
Holy monkies this is incredible. Loved it! But why no iconic trills in the descending lines towards the beginning and elsewhere in the recurring lines?
The Gergiev toothpick makes an appearance! Wonderful performance.
Thank you so much !
Superbe!!! Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!
Tres bien jouer !! Sur tous la petite clarinet !! Felicitations a Tous et toutes !! 😘😘🎶💪
Such a cool gang, but I think all the cool guys will agree that you are the coolest of them all, Nicolas. You are a role model to many.
I truly appreciate, thank you 🙏🏼😊✨
最高です🥺🙌🙌
Bach lives on. How can anyone listen to this without crying?
Bravo Mr. Baldeyrou. Just channelled Lenny and he too says ''Bravi Tutti" !
Ron Odrich thank you so much Ron ! I was too shy to channel him in case I betrayed his music 😄🙏🙏🙏✨
部活が無くなって楽器持って帰ってきたけど3ヶ月で3回くらいしか練習してない、、この動画見て練習しようと思いました、、
I WISH to play clarinet HALF that good 😂
Sensationell - unglaublich - bravissimo für alle Musiker um das Genie Nicolas!
Spectacular!!!!!!!! Amazing musicianship and an incredible production! I thoroughly enjoyed it! Stay safe!
¡Stupendido!
The arrangement is flawless, in my opinion.
