RACHMANINOV Vocalise | Nicolas BALDEYROU

- čas přidán 29. 08. 2024
- Dear friends, I hope you're well. This week has been very difficult everywhere in the world and also in France, where we're enduring a new lockdown because of the COVID second wave. There are so many reasons to be anxious these days, about the health of our families, about our threatened jobs, about the always more precarious place of artists in our societies. And if it was not enough, the city of Nice was the theater of a horrible terrorist attack a few days ago... That's why I would like to dedicate this beautiful melody by Rachmaninov to all victims and people in pain, and all human beings praying for a better future.
This "Vocalise" composed and published in 1912 as the last of his 14 Romances, Op. 34. Originally written for high voice (soprano or tenor) with piano accompaniment, it contains no words, but is sung using only one vowel of the singer's choosing. It was dedicated to soprano singer Antonina Nezhdanova. The piece was such a success that the composer himself transcribed it for violin and orchestra, and many arrangers made their own version for various ensembles.
As I often get questions about my clarinets (which are unfortunately not mine except the old Bb Festival) and setups, I'm playing this time a boxwood Légende in A (Vandoren BD4 and V12 3,5) for the solo part, a Buffet Légende Green Line in Bb, a Buffet Festival in Bb, a Buffet Tosca bass clarinet (Vandoren B40 and V12 3,5) and an old Buffet contrabass clarinet from 1935 (Leblanc Mouthpiece).
I hope you'll like it !
Take care and stay safe ❤️
I am almost certain that it is illegal to be this good at clarinet.
Omg lol so true
😂😂😂🙏😊
cool comment@@nicolasbaldeyrou1
This piece is one of my favorites. I've never thought of a clarinet version before as the soprano voicing is hard to beat, but this really works!
Thank you so much Steve, happy that you like it ! 🙏😊
Wow, just amazing tone, control, phrasing, everything. Another beautiful performance. Thanks again, Nicolas.
Thanks so much 😊😊😊🙏✨
This piece truly is majestic, and I love how you played such that it doesn't seem like you're playing alone, but together, as if a whole orchestra!
Thank you so much ! I’m happy you felt that, it’s really the direction I wanted to give 🙏🙏😊
Your tone sounds like pure gold🥺
Thanks so much and happy new year ! 🥂✨😊
You're my favourite clarinetist on CZcams and a great inspiration for me!
Thanks so much Daniel !
Lovely, very moving. Praying for France and Europe. 🙏🏻
Thanks so much Bea 🙏✨
It has a sad mood, but in time we are living... It also is a great performance as allways you do. BRAVO!

Wow you're really good clarinet player!!
Thank you !
Thank you so much for spreading a little sunshine on us around the world at this strange and sometimes very dark times.
Could only imagine how time-consuming this must be with all the arrangements ,video recording and edits.
Not to mention all the plots, clothes and thought behind every piece.
Lots of laughs and lots of comfort, and, great music performed beautifully.
You really deserve huge credits for doing this and hope you can find time to continue.
Stay safe !
Thank you so much Johan ! It’s definitely countless hours of work but I’m happy if people smile, get comfort and joy watching these small videos. As you said, we had art and music more than ever !

Как всегда великолепно!
In a world where there are so many insanely brilliant clarinet players, there is only one Nicolas Baldeyrou. A musicality and a purity of sound that are from another world.
Increíble!!! Dulzura para mis oídos 👏👏👏👏👏
Merci Andrea !

This brother is awesome 🥰
Every member...well almost every member...of the clarinet family over dubbed into a masterpiece of a video!
Well done my brother 🥰
Thanks so much Brian!
comme toujours, votre musique est une brise d'air frais. J'ai joué cette pièce pour la première fois dans un concours pour jeunes musiciens dans mon conservatoire, en 97. C'est une beauté! Merci beaucoup! et prends garde!
Merci beaucoup Nicolas, cette pièce est une merveille !
Suite à mon message sur Instagram, cette interprétation de Rachmaninov est magnifique.
Cette contrabasse est superbe.
À faire pâlir la basse.
Une découverte pour moi.
Merci pour ce beau partage.
Bon dimanche
Mille mercis une fois encore ! Ça me touche beaucoup 😊😊😊🙏
It's wonderfull piece, you did an excellent work.
Thank you so much !
Dear Nicolas, beside the really amazing arrangement, performance, and the most invaluable - soul and heart you're pouring in this, let me say, I am closely following the news in France. I am heartbroken, and yet, hopeful because of your President's lead. Sending you all my support, respect, and love. United we stand!
Thank you so much Zisl, I really appreciate your support ! Take care you and your family 🙏✨
So beautiful
Une merveille émouvante.!
J'aime aussi la version au cornet à piston par la trompettiste Alison Balsom tandis que la vidéo nous fait découvrir un paysage enneigé quelque part en Russie.
Une superbe nostalgie nous envahit alors
J’aime beaucoup aussi cette version trompette ! 😊🙏🏼
Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to everyone who is suffering. This is an amazing piece of music and your rendition of it is so beautiful. I hope you keep posting your videos on CZcams.

Thank you Mariko, we all need hope !
J'étais sur que le confinement allait te laisser du temps et engendrer de nouvelles créations, c'est magnifique comme d'habitude.
C'est quoi cette contre-basse à mi chemin avec un sax bar, c'est une fabrication maison ?
Merci pour ces moments de musique intenses, et continue à nous surprendre.
Une clarinette contrebasse Leblanc prêtée par le musée Buffet Crampon , check his previous video where he mentions that.

Thank you so much Brendon !

Maybe one day 🤞🏻 thank you so much Manu !
Stiamo vivendo una brutta Pandemia, così si chiama in italiano: in questo caso, caro Nicolas, la brutta PANDEMIA non può far rima con POESIA e FANTASIA(....quello che questo Vocalise esprime nella bellezza del brano e nella realizzazione di questo video). Non smettiamo di credere alla salvezza della musica e noi torneremo a darle ciò che merita anche col nostro lavoro,,, (scusami non so scrivere in francese ma so che capirai)
Je pense avoir compris, enfin j’espère ! Grazie mille Giuseppe !
💚💚💚 Magnífico!!!!
🙏🙏🙏🙏😊✨
Bonjour. Votre travail est admirable et vous nous apportez beaucoup de bonheur à nous offrir autant de beauté.
À quand le BluRay Disc de toutes vos vidéos !? Pour Noël ???
Bravo à vous, et merci infiniment.

Quanta musica leggi e suoni egregiamente
Grazie mille Gianluca !
This is amazing! I would to play this for a quartet. Do you have the sheet music?
Thank you Jacob ! There way more than 4 parts in this current arrangement but there must a quarter version somewhere on the net !
Please do a version of Le Api(The bees).
That’s a good idea !
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🙏🙏😊✨
класс!!
Большое спасибо !
Is something different with the microphones used ?
I have the feeling that the previous reccorded sounds were a bit better. May be my ears or lour speaker ?
Yes, there seems to be a "grain" in the sound. Not sure if that's due to the many dissonant chords. .
Sorry to hear that :-( it’s exactly the same setup than usual. Maybe the sound of the boxwood in A ? Maybe the level of the solo clarinet ? From my place it sounds pretty similar than the other videos but I should have double checked on different speakers 🙏
Do you like the Tosca bass clarinet over the Prestige?
Tuning on the Tosca is better, it’s also an easier instrument, but the sound of Prestige is gorgeous. It’s mostly a question of comfort !
Can you explain why you chose a boxwood clarinet instead of a regular clarinet? I'm a string player and I simply don't know the difference.
The wood is a light and porous wood, it gives more warmth in the sound, but less projection, which is not a problem for a recording :-))
What kind of clarinet is that playing below the bass?
It’s an one buffet contrabass clarinet from 1935
Seems like you've done just about everything......If you are interested in new pieces to do, try Computer Game by Yellow Magic Orchestra...it is amazing.......would love to see you do that one day!
Wow that’s a fun piece ! Any score available ?
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1
Unfortunately, no score that I know of....maybe YMO has one, but I am not sure... I can imagine all those parts on clarinet and would sound beautiful !
Gorgeous! And I agree that boxwood does make the difference in tone quality ! Congratulations on your work and creativity. I admire your dedication. You are a true inspiration . Since the pandemic I started to clone myself in similar videos and I also play mostly on a boxwood woodwind instrument ...... double reed though! Guess what!?!
I hope you can check my channel sometimes! Grazie Marco
Wow, just discovered your channel, I love it, bravo Marco !! And beautiful playing on your boxwood baroque oboe 😍 thanks for your kind words, I truly appreciate 🙏😊
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Thanks! I'm always eager to find out what you're cooking up for the next video!
How did you unitize tempo?
Just recording again and again until it’s together 😊
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 that sounds pretty tedious! I personally use a metronome for the portions without any tempo changes, and for the expressivo parts, I record a part and listen to it at the same time and match that until it fits, but of course, it hasn't produced this kind of great result as seen here...
Omg dude is that a contrabass??
Yes, from 1935 ! By Buffet
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 wow that's so amazing! I want one so baddddd!
I'm working on the piece too.
Fantastic music isn’t it ? 😍
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 Oui bien sûr, j'aime bien la musique de Rachmaninov et je suis aussi en train de travailler le morceau solo dans le 2e mouvement du 2e
Symphonie. :-)
who makes the contra?
It’s a buffet from 1935
@@nicolasbaldeyrou1 WOW! That's so cool. Thanks!!! And thanks for all of your content. You motivate my students, and me, A LOT!
