I like the articulation, the shaping of the notes, the staccato, the intonation, the togetherness on dynamic changes, the togetherness on tempo, even the dress and composure of the musicians. That's a lot to like. And I liked it more than that!
+Tuna Dalcam Awesome is right. Some people run programs that automatically "thumbs down" all popular videos except their own, thinking that they can get youtube to rank theirs higher that way. And of course there are trolls that think it is fun to "thumbs down" anything.
I love this ensemble, what they do and how well they do it. First class playing. Please keep it up, for the sake of all music lovers who appreciate true talent and musicianship.
I disagree with criticisms that the arrangement was too repetitive. I am a professional arranger and it held my attention from beginning to end. I consider this to be one of the best arrangements of any music I've ever heard. I also happen to be a saxophone player (a student of the late, great Joseph Viola) and I heard excellent musicianship in every way, all the way - bravo!
In my lessons, I was always taught that the sax's sound/tone should compliment the environment and situation...that a sax's job is to "fit the pocket" and "fit the piece". From smooth jazz down to Ravel...So I get what you are saying. Basically, one of the sax's strongest points is it's ability to have it's tone drastically manipulated and blend with others...which is why they often double other parts at times haha
Haha I did think that too, but by the end really didn't miss the drum. Actually the absence of percussion really brought out the curvacious meandering of the melody line, really sensual, living and breathing...! And such controlled breathing!
the biggest problem with conventional sax players is that they limit the sax to a saxes sound: let the sax sound how it is! that's the beauty of sax! it can manipulate its sound to sound differently, and they mastered this perfectly by using different styles and sounds!
I can't help thinking that, if we only have a few saxes among a traditional orchestra, then having the saxes produce a non-sax-like sound doesn't really work, because in such a traditional orchestra we would specifically want them to sound "like what a sax would sound like". This Saxophone Ensemble were able to do it so nicely, because the band consists of saxes and saxes only, so there is nothing to worry about unstereotypical sound qualities.
Absolutely wonderful Ensemble. Loving the range from very very soft beginning right through increasing to such a tremendous finish - Wow! The position of the instruments on their right looks so elegant. Their movement enhances the enjoyment too. Bolero is amazing - thank you so much for sharing :)
@@AlbertPerez-jw1ry That's why I love the sax. I wish I still played it. It can do so much, and it's crazy to think that it also can do that really raunchy growl stuff you hear in rock and blues, and has good note bending ability as well. It's a really versatile instrument
A magnificent rendition and so in keeping with the original, jazz inspired piece. The sonority is wonderful and I love those not -quite glissandi at the end. Excellent!
¡¡¡¡¡ WOW!!!! YOU ARE FROM OTHER PLANET!!!! GREAT !!!! MARVELOUS!!! ALL YOU'R GENIOUS!!!!! WATH A DELICIUS-THANKS NIPONS!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST IN ART, MECANIC, SCIENCE, IN ALL...!!!!
Cool, a bass saxophone !!! Really good intonation as well, can't imagine what the players who played the rythmic part throughout the piece must have been going through !
Es lo mejor que he escuchado nunca. Increible como suena, como una orquesta... o mejor.. yo que se. El saxofon bajo que hay le da mucha profundidad al grave. It is the best thing I have ever listened. Awsome. Perfect...I don't have any word to describe.
Fantastic! Maybe a suggestion : the vibrato is too much important for the soprano section in the second stage of the piece when the forte and fortissimo arise, but the interpretation is in the spirit of the original orchestration and they sound in a amazing way
Can you guys please come to the international saxophone congress next year in Scotland!! July 2012 check out the website and have a think about it you would be fantatstic!
Ya, it's actually fine either way. I used to play "side saddle" for awhile until I grew taller and it became generally more comfortable to play down the middle. But even now, some situations I find that a side position on alto is more comfortable...the principle is comfort, and it's better to be comfortable while playing than not :-)
Actually, it isn't something 4th graders would do. The saxophone can be played to the side or between the legs. There are several famous saxophonist who play to the side. It's a matter of whatever works for them or how they were taught to play the saxophone.

That tenor doesnt even sound like a saxophone, it sounds like a whole other instrument and its amazing
Esro Coeus which one
@@madisontaylor2940 the first one to play I believe
The tone quality is exquisite - such a gorgeous sonority.

I know right !!!,,😐
I meant 🤯🤯😯😐
All those saxes, and not one "Sanborn lick"! Amazing! Seriously, it is amazing and beautiful!
This is the best thing I've seen in while. I stopped playing my alto 14 years ago and I'm reinspired!
I wonder what kind of 'being', let alone a person, could ever dislike this.
This is way beyond being awesome

Mi-Bemol takes the reality of superior musicianship into a new dimension. Splendid.

It's Bolero. It IS repetitive no matter what instruments are used. They did a good job.
Stellar intonation, sensitive interpretation, hot dressing gowns!
I can't believe, how smooth They stood up at the end!
Qué versión más elegante y soberbia hace el conjunto .

This is fantastic. I know they they are a saxophone ensemble, but I think having a "guest" snare drummer wouldn't have hurt.

What a wonderful progression, the ensemble is perfect !! Lovely overall sound and rendition 🎷🎷👍👍⭐️⭐️🎷🎷

I could listen to this over and over! It’s a living, breathing musical performance.
They need to go on tour to the US, i would go their concert if they came to San Diego.
wunderschön!!! Danke für so gute Musik!
Amazing sound you guys! Wonderfully controlled!
I love the song Bolaro! and you guys made it sound so good!
What's cool is it sounds like other instruments are in there but not
@@dinisconti4361 magic of the saxophone

@@TomMilleyMusic so true.The saxophone is an extremely versatile instrument.
thats just the range its awesome thats what i tell my students
É isto aí, nasceram pra brilhar, o sax e os saxofonistas,rsrsrs
Brilhante!!!
A magnificent rendition and so in keeping with the original, jazz inspired piece. The sonority is wonderful and I love those not -quite glissandi at the end. Excellent!
What impressed me as much as the virtuoso performance was the FLAWLESS INTONATION.
🥰初めて聴いた。凄い。スゴイ。🌺パチ🌺パチ🌺パチ👍👍👍
absolutely fantastic never heard anything like it before it was beautiful
¡¡¡¡¡ WOW!!!! YOU ARE FROM OTHER PLANET!!!! GREAT !!!! MARVELOUS!!! ALL YOU'R GENIOUS!!!!! WATH A DELICIUS-THANKS NIPONS!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST IN ART, MECANIC, SCIENCE, IN ALL...!!!!
I can't believe,how smooth You guys playing!Excellente!Bravissimo!
Recently Spectator mag had an article on Bolero. V impressive.
still waiting!! I want to buy the entire performance on DVD
Krásne a veľmi zvláštne.Super Anika.
Awesome intonation with Soprano saxes excellent. Timbre very consistent-a few spot where it was too bright for orchestral sax -IMO. Overall Fantastik!
Cool, a bass saxophone !!! Really good intonation as well, can't imagine what the players who played the rythmic part throughout the piece must have been going through !
And I love how they move with the music.
Incredible Sound Color , I hear strinds !
the blend and sound is so smooth. if u listen closely it sounds like an oboe playing the short notes. anybody know where I can get this cd?
And they say saxophones don’t belong in classical music. Classical music on saxophone sounds spectacular when done right
WOW! Amazing! I love it!
Simply marvelous... you are all wonderful musicians, Thank you so much!
Faz 12 anos que ouço e não enjoo.
Sensacional!!!
Excellent playing and sound recording. Unique!!
You are so good guys 👍👏👏👏
Un seul mot : BRAVO !!
Es lo mejor que he escuchado nunca. Increible como suena, como una orquesta... o mejor.. yo que se. El saxofon bajo que hay le da mucha profundidad al grave.

mehlem za dusu !!! hvala
Absolutely brilliant.
AMAZING!!!!! picking up my sax again
Fantastic! Maybe a suggestion : the vibrato is too much important for the soprano section
in the second stage of the piece when the forte and fortissimo arise, but the interpretation is in the spirit of the original orchestration and they sound in a amazing way
Lindo Demais , desejo tocar assim meu sax algum dia :)

Sublime, definitivamente.
Can you come to Malaysia again like last time during the flute festival in 2007?
Just spectacular!!!!!
好聽到讓我起雞皮疙瘩。

This is amaizing!
Uma surpresa sonora, pois ficou muito bom de escutar.

Electrifying!
