Not only is he a clarinetist, he's also a french horn player, a triangle player, a timpani player, a cymbal player and an editing expert. That's what I call a legend.
Also, was he the one operating the sheep puppets? Or they're a costume and he had to wear that. Either way, one of the underappreciated classical legends of the internet. If he and twoset could collaborate he wouldn't have to play the string parts anymore!
I too felt that the Bass Clarinet choice was especially inspired. And I'm not just saying that because I started playing it when I was in my early teens... and now I'm a trillion years ago... just beautiful and very much aligned with the spirit of the music and the mountains.
All celli should be jealous of how magnificent the introduction sounds on bass clarinet. :-) I continue to enjoy visiting your recordings with and without friends. Thanks for making them. They help me keep going at work and inspire me to keep practicing.
you were fortunate to find lovely Swiss milkmaids who could also play lovely oboe, cor anglais and flute and piccolo. Bravo/brava to all, this is truly virtuosic and very inspiring.
This is inspired, inspiring, insanely awesome, and hilarious!!! I love the sheep and that your buddies dressed the part. Thank you! You, with your musicianship, your theatrics, your instrumentalist friends hopping on full throttle ahead, and your video editor buddy’s exact crispness have made my rainy day bright.❤
The overture is perfect with winds and percussion. Then we have plenty of Easter eggs: the lederhosen, the muppets, the need practice shirt with the contra, the Roland Garros shirt to remember us of France, William Tell at the triangle, Tirol scenery, the arrow and the apple - no teddy bears were injured... It's an awesome video!
So yeah, I've binged almost every video you've released. Your talent is beyond remarkable, your musicianship is enviable, and your entire presentation with costuming, backgrounds, and narrative are masterfully entertaining. What gets me though, is how you've made remote playing with your colleagues sound absolutely spectacular. The audio mixing is second to none. I often listen to your arrangements without any visual aid and am left wanting nothing in sound quality. Brilliant, dynamite job, keep it up! It's TwoSets loss they don't feature you more; you're pretty much the Paganini wind player, and video presenter to boot, that they were once looking for.
Thank you so much for your kind words ! I really appreciate ! I try to get better in sound recording and video editing each time but I still have a long way to go 😅 don’t worry, I don’t expect anything from twoset, I just like very much their channel and love this merch !
A few days ago I wondered: „When does Nicolas Baldeyrou release a new video? It has been a while since his last one.“ And ‚Bam!‘ The sound of the wind ensemble is balanced. The scenes tell a story. What more? 😊 Thank you lot! We appreciate your work and effort!
Hi Nicolas - fantastic, fun and fabulous ! this video could be entitled - "how to get 3 young boys from the ages of 7 - 14 to listen to a piece of classical music from begining to end". I know because my 3 boys loved it. Such an inspiration !
Aside from the astonishing level of sheer musical marvellousness, that leaves this amateur horn player agog its M Baldeyrou’s lovely po faced focussed triangle player that takes the plaudits for me.
Prochaine étape : Shaun au triangle ! J'adooooorrrre ce décalage et ce kitch. Des artistes formidables qui jouent à tous les sens du mot. Bravo.... Again and again !!!
Here we are, me and my children, enjoying this fantastic concert!!! They've been waiting (and asking almost everyday) for this, especially my little clarinetist. Merci beaucoup!
A few things to comment on. First, not only are the musical transcriptions and transpositions of this well known overture spot on, the whole ensemble playing is so captivating and mesmerizing that in many respects it outdoes the original Rossini composition. This is probably because the reduced instrumentation allows for increased clarity of much of the faster passages. I too am a musician (piano and bassoon) as well as an audio and video engineer...I know how difficult it would be to put together a project such as this, especially coordinating participation from your "cloned" musicians. Bravo! to one and all! I also must say that what I found particularly entertaining was the inserted, pleasantly humorous but not over the top animation...especially the Mo Town Sheep swaying to the music in the 3rd movement with flute and Cor Anglais. The costumes and background scenery are also nicely done. Once again, congratulations! to one and all. I will look forward to more productions from you folks.
Nul doute que si Rossini avait eu des clarinettes basses sous la main, il eut écrit son intro pour ces instruments ! L'introduction est absolument magnifique ! Quel plaisir ! Merci !
0:00-10:38 is the bit we all came for P.S With your clever editing, great arranging, and all that talented playing, that storm has never before felt so real!!
Brilliant! Bravo! Standing ovation! Show stopper! When I was in music school, I would have loved to attend recital where Mo-Town-Sheep dance in the background. Bass clarinet is delegated to background in wind music so much it is amazing to hear a bass clarinet choir!
Dear Nicolas...I'm not sure if you are still following the comments to your brilliant William Tell creation this late into 2023 but it seems to me that the possibilities of doing these classical music videos that carry some type of plot would be endless. One composition that comes to mind is "The Sorcerer's Apprentice"...WOW! Could you imagine how much fun you and your creative mind would have with the added video imagery of buckets and buckets of overflowing water being strewn everywhere! Hope you give it some thought!
Bro I cannot understand how you are such an phenomenal clarinetist and an amazing horn player. I don’t know any horn players who are also incredible at another instrument. I spend all my time practicing horn and can’t imagine putting the same amount of time into another instrument Edit: and an amazing percussionist and video / sound editor goddamn
Thank you so much David but honestly I’m just a very average horn player, it’s really for fun and by passion because I always loved the sound, and started practicing when I was 20 !
A+ talents in all Clarinets, Horns, musicianship, arranging, and production! Not to mention your social talents in bringing together your friends! Bravo!
I love, no , I absolutely adore, how you not only played many of the different voices in your choir, but also put it all in front of a really neat background that goes with the music. I’ve only been to Switzerland once but it was up in the snowy Alps. Wait, the snow and mountains was Austria. In Switzerland, our tour group just saw the lion bas relief in the mountain. Anyway, how cool!! I appreciate your efforts!
Incredible on absolutely every level - stunning orchestration, beautiful performance, perfect mixing and excellent video editing. I really enjoyed this!!
OH my goodness!!!!!! This is so satisfying to watch. The playing is on another level.....on the backend there's the practise then recording plus filming plus costumes plus editing....WOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!
I so respect this video! I played flute and piccolo in a Community Symphonic Wind Ensemble when I lived in Michigan. At one rehearsal our director announced we were going to play at a concert in two weeks and the pieces were: William Tell Overture and Charge of the Light Brigade - we had only three rehearsals before the performance. He told us to learn fast. 👍🎶🎵🎼
Dizer que você é um músico e profissional fantástico é redundante, pois já te disse isso antes. Mas é sim!! E toda a equipe de músicos e musicistas maravilhosos? Também amei. Parabéns por mais um trabalho incrível, Nicolás. Grata por compartilhar conosco!! Sua fã, Carolina.
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 I would LOVE to see more of your amazing Contrabass, it's sad that it is hard to hear in this pieces though. Well, I guess that's the point of a Contrabass anyway 😁
You are such a talented person! And an inspiration of mine. Watching you so joyfully playing clarinet, I started playing again after almost 12 years pause, during which I could not force myself to play the instrument. Kodos from mother Russia!
Very nice work on this! I'm very impressed with the intonation, even in some tricky keys... and the timing, especially when collaborating with other people. And you even managed to somewhat emulate the acoustic stage presence, very good mixing and editing, that's a lot of work, mate. =D I hope you get the opportunity to demonstrate that unique Buffet contrabass on its own for us. It's always nice to see those older models in action, what they are and are not capable of, like an archive of sorts.
Thank you so much for your kind words ! Unfortunately I had to give this contra back, the high register was not functioning, maybe because it stayed for years unused in the museum...
Absolutely wonderful, just like all the previous videos. You are “le meilleur” as both a clarinettist and as a musician and artist dedicated to bringing the sheer joy of music to a global audience. Je vous tire mon chapeau. Paul Globus, Montreal, Canada.
Nicolas Baldeyrou You also inspire clarinettists everywhere to higher and higher levels of attainment. Your mastery of the instrument is astounding. I hope to hear you play In person one day.
Merveilleux! Les mots me suffisent pas pour dire combien j'ai apprecié ce vidéo, soit la musique (et comme elle a été jouée) que les images, pleines d'humour. Merci encore.
superb. je vous ai ecouté pour la premier fois en YT il y a peut-etre 4 ou 5 mois, depuis cette fois là je vous ecoute tous les jours, Bach, Verdi etc. et maintenant ce Rossini. BRAVO! BRAVO!
Je vous découvre grâce à Laurent Cabasso! Tout simplement phénoménal. Et pourtant je suis violoncelliste et ai joué ce solo de Guillaume Tell maintes fois. J'avoue que votre musicalité est tellement universelle que le violoncelle ne m'a pas manqué. Merci et bravissimo!
Wonderful performance ! Thank you and all your team for bringing us humor and laugh at the second corona closure. Music should be played with love, joy and fun just as you do it. You are the best !!!
