I love how your Persian cat is just completely unbothered. She doesn't know how lucky she is to have the privilege of having listened to this wonderful performance live.
I can't even begin to overstate how damn impressive this is. Seriously this is a work of art and you deserve so much more recognition for this. Good work Kris!!
Oh yeah this is perfect for distracting myself at 1:31AM when I shouldve been sleeping at 12:15AM Your timbre is beautiful my guy!! Thx for sharing this!!!
Believe it or not. I used to play the contrabass clarinet. which is roughly similar in size. surprisingly it's not terrible in terms of the air needed.
You are so talented! As a flautist, I struggle to make sure I get good breath support to make notes sound good which requires quite a bit of air... But seeing as you can make notes sound so good with an instrument that big is so impressive!👏👏👏
It is amazing being able to listen to this beautiful performance! As a violinist who has performed this caprice many times, I'm extremely impressed by your phrasing and your technical skills. Keep up the amazing work!!❤
Love this! ❤ The bassoon, and saxaphone (I use to play it, myself) have such gorgeous guttural, bellowing sound that I also love hearing in the double bass and bass viola da gamba, tuba and lute-harpsichord.
What the heck did I just listen to? That contrabassoon is a lethal weapon in your hands, sir! As a composer, you basically are taught that the contra is completely incapable of this sort of thing... but here's the counterargument to that! Awesome job!
@@bassoonkris I love how the Kronwalt low A contra is so compact. I had an old Mollenhauer low A contra on trial about fifteen years ago and the first thing the trombone section said to me was "you didn't BUY that, did you?!" and the case wouldn't fit in the back of my car. As a contra player (I play a Fox) I am amazed by all of the extra keys and I know that I could figure them out eventually but you navigate them with such ease and assurance!
I love your take on this, but I am curious: Have you ever listened to a violinist play this? Your interpretation of timing and phrasing is just so different from anything else I’ve heard! As a flutist and violinist I’ve heard many many interpretations so I’m curious! No hate intended I’m just wondering where you drew your inspiration. :)
