Øystein makes every Tubist proud to be a Tubist. And to believe that I actually met him at a Janisarry Cup at Averøya, Norway. He performed Fnugg in front of me and my bandmates. And he's a really nice guy too.
Vilmos Horváth to be fair it didn't fit at all this piece, there is no way to deny that. As much as he is a wonderful player, the timber of the instrument at this speed and register is way to muddy and heavy
I actually personally much prefer listening to this piece on tuba over violin. Much more singing and fluid, and the ability of the tuba to lend a lilting quality to the fast passages gives the piece a more mysterious, wintry feel. I had never much liked the piece until I heard Baadsvik play it, probably because the violin is just too strident and edgy a tone to really convey the concept of the rich, deeply silent, eerie peacefulness of winter.
After being bored by so many cookie-cutter performances of this Vivaldi concerto, I have at last heard one that captured my interest, impressed and entertained me. Bravo Mr Baadsvik!
He makes double pedal b flat clean and at higher octaves his sound is comparable to that of a French horn or euphonium . His range is amazing yet that is not good enough for the Japanese. They expect him to match a trumpets triple c. Jk this guy is the best Tubist in the world. He makes me want to go out there and purchase my long lost love that I use to play some decades ago in highschool and college band.
I couldn't play that piece that well on my euphonium! Great job Mr. Baadsvik! keep posting more videos! I really enjoy your performances! Thank you for sharing them here on RU-vid! Dan
Heh. I played tuba through high school and college and toward the end of my college days, there was a contest at some event that involved no-hands digging for jelly beans in a dish full of whipped cream. I finished 3-4 times faster than 2nd place, and the people who set it all up decided that had to be a fluke and reset it and I dominated just as thoroughly the 2nd time. Not sure if had anything to do with the tuba experience but your comment did remind me of it... :D
For the tuba, for not sounding the best... This is the most impressive version due to how it works better for woodwinds, but considering the technical performance, this is PERFECT.
That should not be possible. It should fry the circuits of the recording devices and lock up the anything used to reproduce the sounds, let alone the video. The tuba itself should annihilate like antimatter. This raises quantum paradoxes that Stephen Hawking, Albert Einstein, and Wolfgang Pauli working as a team couldn't parse, with Weinberg hollering encouragement.
I dabble at the tuba. I love the tuba. Mr. Baadsvik is as good as anyone in the world on the tuba. The first movement and the faster segments of the third are excellent reminders that not every instrument should play every piece of music. That velocity makes these segments an interesting curiosity that reminds the listener of what the piece should sound like without actually doing so. The second movement and more lyrical portions of the third, conversely, allows Mr. Baadsvik's musicality to shine. Bravo for giving this a whirl.
I always thought, Lindberg playing the first movement on a trombone was incredible enough.... But the sheer speed of his tongue is amazing, never mind everything else
Just out of curiosity and nothing to do just typed "How fast can tuba play" and found this. It's good to be curious just about anything when you have some free time.
i've never really listened to classical music before or had any experience with orchestra/band so i guess i don't know what this piece is supposed to sound like, but i think this is really nice?? i think it sounds good and makes me happy!! it's delightful!!
Deonix Sad this is indeed classical music. It is not Classical music, you are correct. The terminology is confusing and some people argue against it, but we don't have a replacement word as of yet.
@@zandergrier1302 did he play another instrument before ? If not, he's a genius dude, I had to wait for my 8th or 9th year to play it, and it's not that I'm a slow learner
@@marwannaciri1926 The only instrument he played before that was baritone in like 5th grade for 1 year because the school made him. NGL, he's pretty damn amazing for someone so new.
I didn't think it would make sense, but it's not a bad idea. I loved the second movement, it sounds better than the normal violin version (and also, being slower, allows for better expression).
Got to say, incredible skill, mind blowing, I play brass and can appreciate that, staggering it is. ...And I love the tuba. However, this piece just doesn't move me. I think it's because, when I listen to this with the violin in place of the tuba I hear the ice crackling, the cold splintering air... all that stuff, it's there in the timbre of the instrument and the subsequent balance of the arrangement. There's none of that here, for me and from such a player that seems a bit... careless? All I hear is the tuba, the tonguing, the speed of rapidity of the fingering, the staggering range... But my absorption in the piece as a whole is gone. It doesn't say anything other than 'master class'. Most obviously, the tuba just doesn't sound very wintery, to my ear. There are so many pieces that could work as displays of skill AND work as a whole, musically. Mmm. There's something just a bit wrong about this.
I play trumpet for already 7 years and I still am not even close to this level, and trumpet is counted stereotypically the easiest instrument to double tongue on.
Max Istratuk с Вами согласен . Но как ? Я немного занимался музыкой ,на любительском уровне , исполнял на тубе Сен-Санс ---- " Слон ""Лебедь" марши с оркестром но это исполнение меня поразило !!!
geniale virtuosismo allo stato purissimo tecnica mostruosa suono eccellente,con questa tecnica ho sentito solo nakariakov sergei con la tromba il resto e niente.BRAVVISSSSSSSIMMOOOOOO.
Thank, I can't believe he has to keep his arm over the front lik that , is that to adjust the tuning slide as he goes wow . Loks so uncomfortable . Since know one reads this I'll never know.
Haha, I actually read it. It's not to adjust his slide, that's further up, it's actually just how he plays, though he discussed in another video that you shouldn't mimic it
I think oystein is a god but thr tubist from canadian Brass ist also a god He has the world record dir the fastest Bubble bee ever and He also Sounds amazing
