György Ligeti - Six Bagatelles, CARION, 2014 (HD) 

i believe this is the first classical "music video" i have ever seen

The Clarinetists happiness when playing is quite contagious! This is awesome!

The interactive between the members makes the music more understanding and also attract me from listening to the end!! Love the music !!

To all of you "great masters of musical form, theory and aesthetics", these guys actually have impeccable coreography that suit the music incredibly well! The point of their coreography is not dancing to the music, ffs, it is to visualize the instrumentation, form and relations between instruments and group of intstruments of the quintet in each movement of the whole piece. When someone has a solo, others who are just the bass layer beneath, or the ostinato accompaniment stand aside, eventually looking each other in the eyes or interacting among themselves, according to the similarity of the material in their part. They also move according to the articulation in their instrument's part, in each movement. It is not mocking, it is visualising music with movement, while playing BY HEART at the same time. I'm a bassonist myself and have played this with my quintet, and these guys, I can tell you that first hand, are doing a great musical AND coreographical job! Ignorance is not good guys. If you don't know much about something, don't judge, at least not out loud. You look silly. Really silly.

Am I alone noticing here that they all look very much like the instruments they play?

This remains one of my top 10 favorite videos on RU-vid. The performance! The music. Everything.

すごい生き生きと演奏してるとこ好きだなぁ しっかり音楽が形として捉えられているんだなぁ 自分はフルートを吹いてるからこの動画の女性のようにまるで歌うように吹けたらいいなぁ すごい好きなアンサンブル🙄

特にホルンとクラリネットの方に 惹かれました。 音色の幅が広いですね。 攻撃的な音から 丸くて柔らかい音まで 自分はクラリネットを 吹いているのですが、憧れです。

I. Allegro con spirito 0:17 II. Rubato. Lamentoso 1:35 III. Allegro grazioso 4:31 IV. Presto ruvido 6:53 V. Adagio. Mesto -- Belá Bartók in memoriam 8:00 VI. Molto vivace. Capriccioso 10:24

急にお勧めに出てきてビビった…5年前なのに。い、いやめっちゃ上手いんです…めっちゃ癖強くて面白い方たちやなあw素敵です

Whenever I perform the first movement on bassoon, I love to see the audience's reaction with that last low C.

The musicians of Carion are performing through two mediums. Sight and Sound. What a wonderful performance. Very Clever. This could help the avid music listener get a glimpse into the inner workings of the pieces being performed and how the instruments interact with one another in a visual way.

You guys are simply amazing. I never realized how delightful wind quintets could be. You have opened up a whole new world of music for me. Thank you ever so much.

This is world-class stuff. Everybody should know their work. Brings Ligeti to life in ways I didn't think it could

This choreograph actually really aids in teaching this exceptional quintet. Thank you so much!!

I think more pieces should be performed this way.

ファゴットの低音がしっかりしていて、高音が響きやすくなっていていいと思います。

At 6:38 the horn player discreetly pulls a mute out of the bassoon

Amazingly done. The visual aspect of this video really helps represent their interpretation of Legit's work. A great piece, with great players.

Their specutacular and inspirational performance is beyond description ， and full of admiration , acclaim and deep emotion

Wow. To be able to play this well, while standing/remembering their 'dance moves' is amazing! . I'm an OK amateur bassoonist and I stand ('sit') in awe of these talented players! The visual 'moves' do make this music more, er, 'accessible' to mass audiences... and having sat behind oboes and flutes who sway and swoon and bounce ALL OVER the place from the waist up in orchestra I wonder if this physicality is actually 'liberating' for the players? Anyway, great music and incredible players.

Such perfect intonation. If anything is flawless, THIS IS IT.

Qué puñetera maravilla!!! Qué maravilla de música, y qué maravilla de interpretación!!! Qué claridad la de los intérpretes!!! Extraordinarios!!! Bravo!!!

A lot of us see movement, color and feel certain emotions as we listen to music. I have had wonderful dreams as I sometimes leave classical music or other music on at night as I sleep. This is a splendid representation of how they "see" the music via movements. Bravo!

Meravigliosa composizione del grande maestro Ligeti eseguita in maniera inappuntabile con la dedizione che non trova aggettivi. Grazie.

Fortunately for me the first batch of comments i read were appreciative and discerning on just how aesthetically wonderful are the performers, and a piece by ligeti. Its all all good.

Being a classical musician, a bassoonist... I love this. I find it well played, entertaining and inspiring. If we as musicians can create more mass appeal, good for us! I find the performance excellent watching it... and with my eyes buried in the part, look at all of the hits! It’s a woodwind quintet, bravo!

Cela fait des années que je n'avais pas écouté ces Bagatelles. Superbe version où la mise en scène musicale ajoute encore à la joie, la mélancolie, la drôlerie de la musique. Un bonheur de retrouver cette musique dans cet état - de grâce ...

I keep coming back to this clip - an amazing performance. I have never heard such a beautiful tone and intonation. Awe inspiring

Splendid! What a wonderful approach to the woodwind quintet. So musical. Technically superb. Terrific choreography. Amazing.

STUNNING pieces and an OUTSTANDING performance! BRAVO!!!!!!

いつ見てもわろてまう これだけの曲を暗譜してるのは普通にしゅごい

I love watching you all play. I love your expressions, your playfulness, but most of all, I love the music. THANK YOU!!!!💕💖

I love the little choreo that goes into this. The interactions make it all the more cool to watch and hear! ✨

Much more accessible than I expected from Ligeti

Looking and listening to this as a string player I was just amazed. I could not stop the video and do my other work. The movements really bring out the cleverness and seriousness of the music. I don't like much modern music but this was a brilliant performance of brilliant music. Kudos to all!

Love this. I love the venue as well. Sounds, looks and gives an added perspective that makes it even more enjoyable.

If a non classically trained musician were to listen to only the Audio, I can guarantee they wouldn't guess this is only 5 people. Incredible. Also in terms of the power behind the sound, you wouldn't guess that only one of them was a brass instrument

You're my new favorite group. What a great idea you have -- rearranging yourselves, moving about, eye contact. It turns a conversation between instruments into five interacting voices.

I had the privilege of playing with a wind quintet when I played the oboe in junior high..it was a wonderful experience. Thanks for the music!

György would have loved to see your performance I may guess... amazing !!!

Excellent! Thank you for a wonderful performance of this masterpiece by Ligeti. Loved it!

Gyorgy Ligeti (1923-2006) - Six Bagatelles for Woodwind Quintet I. Allegro con spirito II. Rubato. Lamentoso III. Allegro grazioso IV. Presto ruvido V. Adagio. Mesto - Bela Bartok in memoriam VI. Molto vivace. Capriccioso Artist : CARION ; Dora Seres, flute - Egils Upatnieks, oboe - Egils Sefers, clarinet - David M. A. P. Palmquist, horn - Niels Anders Vedsten Larsen, bassoon

That's really great. The interaction of the instruments is visualized perfectly. Wonderful, thanks a lot!

Amazing display of memory, choreography, musical sensitivity and all around imagination. Oh yes, and a great composition.Loved it!

My woodwind quintet played this piece in college. Thanks for bringing back some great memories and great performance. I love Ligeti's chamber music!

Love the performance aspect (as well, of course, as the inspiring music)

Why am I only learning about this great piece now? Ive got to get with the program. Great performance by Carion.

Absolutley OUTSTANDING music video in EVERY way! Thank you!!

What a wonderful ensemble and how well they interact, bravo!

Brilliant showmanship paired with excellent detail oriented playing!

Sehr schön gespielt. Mit unglaublich Spannung und toller Bewegung! Exakt auf den Punkt.

Marvelous! The ideal dynamic performance for such a dynamic piece of music! Thanks for posting!

Brava Bravo! This is really gorgeous! What a jewel of interplay + contrast, consonance + dissonance, Ligeti is a true Master! This represents a substantial amount of memorization by these formidable musicians, and demonstrates how vibrant music becomes when all of the structure + “information” has been completely internalized. :)

Bravo! Come to New York City soon - I will be there!

Honestly this is incredible performance. This was first piece that I've heard by the composer and this musicians made it very memorable to me at least. Great work. Wow. Thanks so much. Very sporadic moods.

love how Carion films & musicians interact act with one another...draws mass audiences. well done!

This is so good, so life-affirming, so beautiful, so professional, so creative, so skillful, so . . . good!

Really really really wonderful! I love how what you do highlights the drama and shapes of the piece. It's inspired! Keep doing what you do.

Fantastic piece, fantastically performed, fantastically choreographed. I've loved this piece for years but this is a really interesting, new way of viewing it. Very exciting.

I'm working on convincing my quintet at the University of Kansas to play this next semester! You all truly are incredible.

Made it a lot more fun to listen to Ligeti!

The most French horn-player looking french horn player i've ever seen :D Amazing performance!

Beautiful piece. I love the rhythmic aspect of the accompaniment parts, abd there's a huge variety in orchestration despite the small number of instruments.

Amazing piece and excellent musicians! Brilliant, the way they incorporated the choreography, so it's easier to hear the layers of music! Love it :)

Exquisite juxtaposition of excellent musicianship, interpretation, and joy. But I listen to it repeatedly because the performance is beautiful. Each woodwind is so hard to play while moving - especially non vibrato, dynamics in motion, yet with feeling. It is so fun how this piece takes my mind's eye straight into a world floating in mid 20th century modern art, film noir, and wild colors.

What a great performance. Love Ligeti. Inspiring.

this is extraordinary and beautiful! Thank you!!!!!

Bellas interpretaciones, una forma de ver y escuchar distinto lo clásico!!!

Amazing! I’ve never seen anything like this, so cool. I actually found that the choreography only added to the overall experience. I didn’t think it was “clowning”, they definitely weren’t laughing, and they seemed to take the movements and the music both very seriously. I’m just now studying wind quintets so watching this a few times (and probably a few more) is very helpful.

Llevo muchos años tocando el quinteto y Y he tocado en varias ocasiones esta obra de Ligeti. realmente impresionante vuestra versión enhorabuena. Saludos desde Extremadura (España)

Me encanta este grupo. Su interpretación de esta obra tan interesante y variada resalta el papel de cada instrumento y escenifica esa especie de danza y de duelo entre ellos dándole más valor e interés. No me canso de ver y oír esta interpretación.

Excellent! I'm surprised some here maintain the view that this music should only be played seated. I find that the highlights in the arrangement and choreography really work together, helping to bring the listener as well as the musicians into the piece. I think Ligeti would be thrilled, I know I am. So glad I found this, looking forward to seeing you live!

Fabulous ensemble and interpretation, texture and movement are marvelously linked. 3rd movement is the musica ricercata's most beautiful piece!!

Absoultely fantastic performance and video! The coreography is just like an interactive analysis of the compositional structure and musical characters. Congratulations!

God, this is brilliant. Love these pieces. Love these players.

J adore votre approche theatrale de la musique, genial mise en espace, etonnant, mille bravos!...

Wonderful performance!! Thank you so much

Ligeti would be proud! I thoroughly enjoyed this.

This is fantastic! I absolutely love this!

The movements in the video really help to bring the music to life and tell the story. You guys did great :)

Excellent musicians, wonderful music, top location

LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!!

Really enjoyed this! It was riveting to watch the interactions of the players

How do you manage to play all that by heart??...very impressing!

This is such fun to see and hear! Thanks for posting.

This is fantastic and finding it has made my night tonight! Love it!

THE SOUND. the sound is magnificient ! The Choreography is very Apt. This is quite a nice find. ThAnK You.

Brilliant idea! This really animates the piece and brings its narration to a whole new level!

I was touched immediately

Bravissimo SUPERBE interprétation ! Amazing Playing !

genial! music, performance, movie, all together

so very AMAZING! If you are in the Pacific NW to perform, I will be there! simply, utterly mind-blowing! you made my day!

Absolutely superb! This is what music and musicianship is all about: Faultless performance both in interpretation, memory and of course choreography. The flawless visual performance is as if you're looking at the score itself, Ligeti will be grooving in his grave! Congratulations guys, I feel guilty as a human being that there is even one person of the same species out there that can criticise you for being so inventive, you nailed it! Thanks for sharing...

Absolutely amazing. Bravo (and Brava).

This is superb. Absolutely brilliant.

The Wind Quintet is the standard combination for classical wind players: Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon and Horn. The composer is Ligeti.

You guys are great!

Incredible! Every aspect of this!

クラの人良いね^_^ こういうアンサンブルが俺の理想だ！
