Dmitri Shostakovich: Waltz No. 2 - Carion Wind Quintet 

I loved how they were moving like having a conversation with each other throughout the whole piece

*Bassoon and Oboe gaze in each other's eyes in an unbreakable staring contest*

Is no one going to talk about that AMAZING French horn???

Bassoon is so underrated. Nevertheless it is one of the most beautiful instruments.

i dont see any clarinet appreciation so i'll just say his tone, altissimo, and ability to project or blend is totally incredible. all of them are amazing obviously, just wanted to show a little love for my instrument family lol

Imagine if a whole orchestra was walking around like this while performing

This melody is an absolute masterpiece. If you close your eyes, you can imagine all sorts of scenarios with people, places, romance, dance or even animals playing. For me, that inspiration is what tells a masterpiece - whether musical or art - from the good and the great.

3:27 That french horn in the high register and piano pianisimo! Incredible!

I see no flute appreciation! She did incredible! Such nice high notes a adding that little touch

Such a soothing bassoon. Everything is so incredibly smoooooth

It's really incredible how it sounds like an orchestra and you are just five ... Amazing

3:17 as a clarinet player, like this part.. The high note.. *AUUUGHHHHHHH!* GOD ITS SO GOOD! Also props to the flute player astounding performance.. Actually.. Astounding performance to all of them, this piece is repayable for I feel like eternity

What an absolutely exquisite and imaginative orchestration! The colors are astounding as is the totally complimentary ensemble-making. They all feed off of each other! Wow! I want to also point out the exquisite contrapuntal lines running throughout with perfect taste and balance, never obscuring the always-present main melodic line. Also, can we all just stop and relish on Shostakovich's exquisite melodies and harmonies?! He was not just the quintessential avant-garde Russian composer. He could grab your heart and soothe it, too! What a refined taste!

The french horn has so much color and texture and harmony

It always amazes me how good musicians can make he most of their instruments. Brilliant!

The French horn absolutely kills this!!! The high register is absolutely incredible.

I play the oboe, but the basoon is one of the most beautiful instruments of all. It's so underrated.

Comments : "I dont see [any instrument] enough appreciation"

I love the way they dance with their instruments either in pairs or altogether I love it

Thank you all for such wonderful comments and so many views in just a few days! It is really encouraging to us to make even more videos like this for everyone!

外国のすごく上手なプロの方って本当に無駄な力が入ってないっていうかスッと簡単に音出てるように見えるっていうか、語彙力やばいけど。素晴らしいです。

明日のアンサンブルこのホルンの方のような音を出せるよう頑張りたい！！ 私にもその音をください！

dramatic... having playing in many WW quintets... you all are impeccable with your tones, technique and intonation !! perfecto

Какой же великолепный вальс. Исполнение блестящее. Спасибо!

吹奏楽の動画見すぎてなんかこの動画にたどり着いたw この編成ほんとに好き 私はoboeとclarinet吹いてるからこんな音色憧れるなぁ✨

Hold up, in the Clarinet-Flute duet, can anyone see where the Clarinet player breathed? Did he breath?

音色が綺麗… ホルンに関しては綺麗な音色を出すのが難しい楽器なのに… 凄すぎ… 吹奏楽部に1人や２人いて欲しい人材だな

I, Dmitri Shostakovich approves this!

I Love this Ensemble 😊

ホルンのお方が凄すぎて 空いた口が塞がらない。 高音をPで吹くって聞いてる分にはサラッと聞けるけど 元ホルン吹きとしては どうなってんだこれってなる 終始軽やかで低い音も深みがあってもうなんだこれとしかいいようがないとても 素敵な音楽でした。

Everyone talking about how impressive the bassoon and clarinet are, but the MOST impressive thing in this is the range and intonation this horn player possesses.

I feel like the bassoon is so underrated, I just loooove a good bassoonist

They all sound amazing but who here plays the clarinet??

Excellent quality and nigh-theatrical performance. I love the camera angles and the general feeling of this recording. This ensemble deserves more attention.

Why can't I like this video more than one time!?

ダブルリードをこんなにかっこいいと思ったのは初めてだ.......よ。

Notice the strange/curious resemblance between the musicians and their instruments.

Is there any sheet music available for purchase for this arrangement? It's so beautiful, and I would really like to be able to play this arrangement with my friends in my band.

By far the best performance of this piece I am able to find. Incredible how mamy colours you can get with wind quintet.

oboes and bassoons are so under appreciated it makes me so angry omg they’re both such beautiful instruments

I can hear a whole orchestra in just 5 instruments...so beautiful!!!❤😊

This is what I play as I sneak across the house in the dead of night to steal the last cookie from the jar.

Who said instruments can't dance?? They just proved otherwise! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL ❤❤👏👏🙂🎵🎶💙🎹 AL

Hermooosooo!!! Muchísimas gracias por compartirlo!!!

なぜにおすすめに、、、 でも皆様音綺麗過ぎる🥺 fluteとhorn、oboeとbassoonのペアが好き

My heart just melted...I absolutely love this piece and they played it so well

Goosebumps every time I hear this (and I come back to hear this many many times!) - the absolutely exquisite playing, cinematography and even choreography!

I love how they walk around as though in conversation. Casual, yet collected and calm. Their countenance is impeccable! 😍😍

Wow... the horn player is amazing. Bravo

Such beautiful production! Wonderful performance

I'd call this "the art of a great conversation." Thank you for sharing.

Just beautiful sound, execution and passion on all these solos.....bassoon and all of you: flute, oboe, clarinet.....so in tune, vibrant.......great stuff.

Nobody is commenting about that amazing whistling at the end?

As always, the French horn showing why it is one of the best instruments.

My favorite piece of Shostakovich played so artistically. Thank you!

I rarely leave comments on RU-vid but this exhibition it's a wonderful performance of art, excellence, beauty, talent and extraordinary beauty over all the six senses :))) Chapeau! applause!!!!

So beautiful! Congratulations to all involved in the making of this video! It filled me with joy!

Excellent!! Your ensemble is very beautiful and makes me happy. I play the bassoon in brassband club,so I want to be like you !!

I love how you all move around each other with the music! It really does help emphasize all the different roles and gives each part a bit of "solo" time. Lovely and engaging!

정말 내가 좋아하는 왈츠곡~!! 5분의 멋진 화음과 연주에🎉와 박주를 보냅니다.

ファゴットの人めっちゃイケメン

This is one of my favorite songs to dance to. The way you guys play it just adds to its magical quality.

Bassoon💚💚❤️❤️❤️

Amazing. Absolutely love this. Thanks Carion.

I just love how classical music never ceases to bring me joy.

This is so beautiful. I love that the Carion Wind Quintet has added memorization and stage movement to the Genre. It should give it new life.

Omg this bassoonist has a sound like BUTTER. I LOVE it.

ファゴットやばすぎ

I play the bassoon and this just makes me happy.
