wowww I've heard billion versions of this concert but what a great and inspiering performance. I'm hearing aspects of this concert I've never heard before.
since in 1986, I start to first time to practical, play and studies of Clarinet base Mr. Eddie Daniel, because I saw him on his tour in Indonesia. Mr. Eddie Daniel is my inspiration, his not maestro but he is a clarinet monster...thaks a lot...may God bless you always.
So beautiful. I loved the part at 17:00. It's in my easy classical book of excerpts for piano. It really touches one's heart. I think my playing will improve now. Thank you.
Eddie "the Great" Daniels scores high on this one! Super technique and dynamics - the slow movement especially full of feeling and musicality, including his own improvised cadenza - THAT's jazz inside Eddie (as always). And of course the solo improv added after the end, Eddie, you are the only one! Heard you for the 1st time at the Chicago ICA ClarinetFest 1994 and was amazed at your improvs including the Mozart cvlar. quintet (w/Mike Garson at the piano)! Been a fan ever since, and your Vivaldi 5 Seasons are out of this world. Your Czech Bohemian fan clarinetist for life ...
NOT EASY TO DO WHAT EDDIE IS DOING HERE. WHEN YOU ARE A JAZZ MUSICIAN AS EDDIE IS AND YOU PLAY CLASSICAL YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY BECOME ANOTHER PLAYER AND PERSON ENTIRELY. I DON'T KNOW IF A NON MUSICIAN CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN. BENNY GOODMAN AND WYNTON MARSALLIS WERE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND NOW EDDIE DANIELS. I TIP MY HAT TO YOU EDDIE. GREAT JOB! FELLOW CLARINETIST AB
My dad was 1st Clarinet ... R.M.B. in the 60s under Lieut Colonel F. Vivian Dunn C.V.O. O.B.E F.R.A.M. .R.M he was a good clarinet player my dad he died recently and I've bee trying to pick it up... But I saw him many times playing like this and it just makes me cry seeing this beauty. My dad. Looked allot like Eddie funnily.
I'm so glad to see other recordings of this same concerto have the almost excessive sound of air pressure being pushed by the clarinetist when you listening closely to the soloist's sound. I've just recently recorded this concerto live and I was so terrified of how much air sound there was coming from the clarinetist when I listened back at a studio, but it seems that almost all recordings have it.
Daniels Mozart video Excellent performance and interpretation! I was not aware of your doing "straight" repertoire. And, as earlier comments mentioned, you were hardly "showing off" (ie. Martin Frost). Besides, my understanding was that embellishments were common from early on. Really enjoyed it! Thank you.
wunderschoene musik, also das beste, so toll die Klarinette gespielt, einfach sagenhart. Vielen Dank. Kann ich den ganzen Tag dazu hoeren und macht mir das leben schoener.
Best and most prominent clarinetists who play both jazz and classical: Goodman and Daniels. I love this performance of Eddie's in particular--both parts!
As much as I love Benny Goodman (I played clarinet in high school but became so discouraged when I heard him play that I almost quit) - and I do think he's the greatest clarinetist from Big Band/Swing, I actually think Daniels is a better classical player than Goodman. If I remember the critics were rather unkind towards Goodman when he played this concerto.
This is not the clarinet that Mozart had in mind, but I think he would have been overjoyed if one had been sent to him from the future. Reproductions of ancient music have their place, but I really don't think there is anything wrong with performing the works of centuries past on modern instruments.
Nice & light. I dare say Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart would have liked this rendition. And ~ the encore ... well , the applause speaks for itself. Excellent performance on an absolutely great instrument!
@@jnstonbely5215 , no, this this not an alto clarinet. He is playing a soprano clarinet pitched in concert "A," rather than the more common "Concert B-flat" clarinet. Cheers!
Recording quality is poor but WOW!! What a version! The clarinet soloist is absolutly fantastic! The nuances and articulation are far better than the versions I knew.
Questa è una libera interpretazione di Mozart ma assolutamente inverosimile. Non si può suonare Mozart così, con tutto il rispetto e la stima per Eddie.
For some reason, Eddie Daniels switched over to Backun several years ago. In fact, he is a Backun artist and has a line of mouthpieces. It's too bad because I really love Leblancs.
To clarify: Daniels played a Leblanc Concerto in earlier years, Goodman played Selmer for a while (P series?). Pete Fountain was probably the best known Leblanc player - the company designed a high end model with gold-plated keys and named it after Pete...
And a nice guy besides. Ran into him when I was picking up my alto sax, having had it overhauled. He struck up the conversation (I wouldn't have intruded).
My friend was watching this with me and he was like "look at all of em talking and stuff at the beginning, how unprofessional" I just looked at him and said "they are musicians, not robots...its not like they are playing for the queen or anything".
Surprisingly well played by a non classical specialist but felt he could sustain longer breath duration when playing quieter lower and higher notes, playing full value of notes before cutting of final notes of phrases so abruptly.
Great performance Maestro Daniels! It's such a "worn-out" concerto that I wish I could hear you improvise in your tasteful style to give it a little freshness. Maybe next time, eh? But then some stiff-ass purist would probably complain and spoil the whole thing.
Yep, that's a normal A clarinet. There are quite a few instances in the whole concerto (in every movement) that go below the normal lowest note of E - though I don't recall exactly how many times.
I am just an amateurish listener. I wonder if I am too rigid about evenness between notes, feeling that at about 4:25 the sequences and the following running up and down are somehow on the verge of losing control. Pardon my ignorance and poor English.
@@notallgarbage It sounded to me that Eddie was just encountering the struggle that exists between the _rhythmic needs_ that exist in classical music, compared to the needs that are in jazz music. By contrast, classical players usually sound insipid and stiff when playing jazz, because of their foundation in rhytmic concepts. It is almost impossible for any player to truly bridge the two different genres, effectively speaking properly in both.
On second thought, I listened to 4:25 again. In THAT example, Eddie simply rushed a few of those notes, leading to the "unclean" sound you heard. Of course, they were notes played by the dreaded "throat keys" of the clarinet, which are notoriously difficult to evenly navigate!
Один вопрос - зачем джазовому исполнителю пытаться играть Моцарта? Гудман ужасно играл этот концерт. Дэниелс играет лучше Гудмана, но это не академическое исполнение, а просто баловства ради.
sorry, not the best performance... He needs the score, which is a sign he has not incorporated the piece within himself, and his performance shows this... He has been irregular in rythmn on a few occasions... his sound feels weak on occasions I only give him 8.75/10 for this... I like the clarity of his articulations... and.. is it me, or he is a bit flat?
