Extraordinary performance of this Carl Nielsen masterwork by the Carion musicians!
This was just fabulous, the best I've heard, & I wore the grooves off the old record 40 years ago. The staging is a fantastic idea, captivating, even adds insight to the musical structure. Above all, Nielsen showing off one brilliant musical idea after another, rare to see so much in one piece.

This is to prep myself for a wind ensemble performance tonight in Hsinchu.. thank you!!
I performed this many times when I was younger and much more active as a performing bassoonist and chamber musician. I never get tired of this piece....one of the most enchanting compositions for woodwinds! Thanks for such an invigorating and beautiful performance!
The best composition for woodwind quintet ever! Really!
I come back to this vibrant piece having realized that Nielsen's music has become the center of my listening, finding it challenging me to rethink how I understand it and what it means to my valuing other composers I keep returning to, among them Aaron Copland and John Adams.
glad you like it! it is an argument the clarinetist and bassoonist is having there, our performance style allows us to do it for real on stage. We are glad you find it effective as well.
+Carion Productions I was watching this video and a few of your other ones (namely Six Bagatelles) and I noticed that Egīls Šēfers has some extra mechanisms on the lower joint of the clarinet, specifically the key that is across from the C#/F# key. What exactly does that key do? I play clarinet in marching band, but I've never seen anything like that before
thank you!!!
+ShroomyHoles Way late to the conversation, but since it's definitely not a Full Boehm (no ring on L3 nor extra Ab/Eb on L4) it's probably a low F compensation like the ones on the Tosca
With due respect, why part of your work in this video sounds like Dimitri Shostakovich, precisely Second Waltz...?
But that's great anyway
I love it great job please come to California
wonderful! I am driving an OTR truck in eastern Colorado. you make my work much more enjoyable!
@allwinds3786 -- yes.....YES! Same here in Acapulco.....minus the Peterbilt 386!
Excellent music, stellar performances, both musically and dramatically.
I totally loved! The performance is absolutely beautiful, the balance and the sound is perfect!
What a masterful quintet by one of my favorite composers in a performance full of nuance, personality and the quirkiness of later Nielsen in all it's glory.
Hi! Looks like an amazing concert series. Beautiful.
A whole new genre created. Opera for wind instruments.
Fascinating and amazing memorisation. Thanks.
This is an absolutely fantastic performance of a masterpiece for wind ensemble. Thanks for posting it here.
A masterpiece of a work, and I have never heard it performed better. Ravishing sound by all. LOve the oboist's sound and playing, but you are all so good. The flute player has made me love and appreciate the flute again
Excelente. Ustedes son música viva. Bendiciones.
CARION,because of your fantastic playing I have forgotten that you are Danish. Honnør to Denmark!!!
Hitting that like button when I'm only 6 minutes in because a) it's already amazing and b) I know it will only get better
Yes very enjoyable rendition - in the dramatising of the performance one really gets the dual sense of what Nielsen achieved in this musical piece, i.e., conveying both the personality of the instruments and his friends, in this form of musical impressionism he was similar to Elgar in his Enigma Variations - on top of this I am fascinated by the reception of the work - here I mean the feeling of acoustic space - the Gestalt of music - and this seems very tricky, to get the right calibration between the performers - this can be corrected in a recording - but live it always presents a problem - the danger that the wrong instrument will dominate - happily in this musical narrative everything succeeds - and yes it is a marvellous performance and production.
This was definitely not sound-recorded with the video-recording. They don't align, and there are cuts that prove it has been pieced together. Not bad, but the studio recording corrected all of the challenges you mention.
Fascinating comments, suggesting the musical vs physical aspects interpretive space which draws out the dramatic framework in the piece especially well.
Amazing quintet, outstanding performance!
(And, by far, the most handsome bassoonist I've ever seen!)
Love this quintet, love this performance. Not being confined to a chair and interacting with each other adds a whole new dimension. As a bassoonist it is nice not to see all the fiddling around with reeds. Great memorization! I ejoy all of your postings. Keep up the good work!
What an amazing and inspiring performance!! Our (amateur) quintet in New York City is playing this piece and we are blown away!!
beautiful and dramatic realisation that goes to the heart of this extraordinary piece
What a great sound and what beautiful music!
Thanks for your excellence and generosity! You made a quiet evening special for me.
Congratulations for such a fine performance, so inspiring and cautivating. The fact of playing by heart makes it so much moving and interesting. Fantastic.
the clarinet entrance at 19:30 is the best :D
I hated that part and movement.
mmm yeah I agree. And that Eine Kleine Nachtmusik by Mozart is also just terrible, dont you agree?
I loved that part it’s hilarious 😂 it sounds good 👌 and its hard to play
The choral at 26+ minutes is wonderfully done. Performing the Quintet by memory is most impressive.
I have performed this piece with my Quintet(oboe/EH) and thus can really appreciate your great performance.
I think the choral section could be the signature opening for a Quintet performance concert. To me no other passage in the literature demonstrates the essence of the quintet sound so well.

An awesome piece and an awesome ensemble performing it!
I play flute, and my brother plays bassoon, and you guys are musicians to definitely look up to! Thank you so much for the video!!!!
Absolutely beautiful performance . So effectively staged as well. Thank you for sharing this.
Can absolutely not be better performed. Mon chapeau.
What a pleasant surprise did I stumble upon on youtube, great performance guys!!!!!
Música excelsa y lugar no menos ideal. Bravo 👏 👏 👏, desde España.
Simply fantastic!
***** , its recorded seperately, to be released on CD soon. But this is how we perform the piece at concerts. Thanks for your kind words!
I used to own that bassoon, you sound wonderful on it Niels!
This is so fantastic!
love the music and the "play"
Wonderful playing ! Thank you so much :)
What a treasure.....BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!
.....and at 22:00 - 23:00.....incredible solo.....Very Great!
.....and now even Greater.....from Mexico City!
Beautifully done! It's so impressive that you guys are doing it by memory. Love it!
You know the production of the sound is made separately from image... This is not the footage of them recording the peace. Great video and amazing playing nonetheless.
SUPERB show - bravo and congrats
I love this music and the ensemble
Wonderful and Lovely !
I mean the music play !
I was a little skeptical at first, but your presentation really serves the music. Very enjoyable.
excellent performance! BRAVO
Ravishing performance!!!!
Che dire....magnifici!
Mesmerising!
Very nice environment for the recording. I love the Glyptothek.
ただただ素晴らしい最高の演奏
Just love you guys the best.
Such a music candy!
wow, that is awesome!
this is beautiful wow
Wonderful!
It's a Wonderful Comic Interesting Perfomance! Thanks a Lot !!!
Lovely performance and sound. I have now decided to play this piece for the next ensemble competition. Please let me know if CARION ever decides to come to Japan!
Brilliant!
can't stay to listen... but, yes. - THIS. is how it's done. ( : Excellent on you.
Nice work ! really enjoy seeing and hearing your performance. Better than having the score in front of you.
thank you!!
Bellissimo. Braviiiiii;!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!..
Superb.
素晴らしいです
Fantastic
Bravo!!!!
Bravo!
Simply wonderful! The players are all great, and the staging emphasizes how chamber musicians communicate while playing. Does anyone remember the Beaux Arts trio?
Yes, they came and played the Beethoven Triple Concerto with my college orchestra
Ha! The horn player @ 4:20 is like "listen bitches"
lol
The bassoonist is like bruh you always have to take the stage lol 😂
This music is otherworldly and the musicians are wonderful actors. Bravo! How do you remember all of that; is the movement spontaneous?
This piece is so lovely and it is amazingly done
Nice moves!
amazing production, please don't stop!
Francaix, Ligeti, Hindemith....
Thanks! We already did the 6 Bagatelles by Ligeti, hope you like that too. 🙂
That's right, how could I forgot... it's wonderful too
any projects coming soon?
Fran
Always! :) We are usually updating our Fb page with news and upcoming projects.. :)
I thought Nielsen wrote only two operas - Fabulous!
He also has amazing flute and clarinet concerti!
Tocant de memòria i posta en escena mot bonica. Perfecte !!
El local te pot ser massa ressonància.
Certainly didn’t expect the English Horn. What a treat.
That is a french horn lol
@@Ellie-lp1sl At 13.43, the oboe player switches to English horn, which is also a double reed woodwind.
Oh lol 😂 I didn’t know 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
My god that third movement was good
My quintet has a hard enough time coordinating this movement even *with* the music in front of us. Impressive!
bravi nell armonia e dinamiche,bel suono di gruppo
19:30 is like my cat and my neighbor’s cat react when they see each other
bellissimo da sentire, e da suonare, anche per il fagotto ...
Amazing; I've watched (or rather listened) to a few of these now, and as an oboe player, I've been intrigued by the many keys I see on the oboe that are not on mine. The entirety of the top joint looks the same, however the bottom joint has a few keys that I don't recognize, particularly the second bell key. May I ask what these are and their purpose?
Great story .
Merci de mettre ainsi en valeur des instruments de l'orchestre très rarement connus et, donc, souvent ignorés : hautbois, cor anglais, basson, contrebasson (bois à anche double) et cor d'harmonie (cuivre)...
Such an engaging performance. You also picked a beautiful room at the Glyptothek.
Bravissimi!
You all sound great! Have you considered performing Hindemith's Kleine Kammermusik?
+Donez Horton-Bailey They would ace Hindemith.
Virtuosic.
Is there a history behind you guys calling yourselves "woodwind quintet" instead of "wind quintet" given the horn? Congratulations on the performance, loved it.
Are we seeing a real time performance...or a pre-record?
It's a stunning performance either way.
Cool
How many takes :')
The first 8 measures of the song played by the bassoon is my audition music for youth ochestra. This sounds above my playing level so I’m really excited and scared to play it.
That horn player has such dynamite control
❤
Not to undermine the uniqueness of this beautiful piece, but right at the beginning, the first thing that came to my mind was Papageno.
Dear Carion Quintet, this is a great and perfect performance of my favorite wind quintet. However allow me one question. Why does Eglis does not Play the last 2 bars in the adagio bevore the theme with variations starts? I understand the low c in ppp is critical. But in your "league" I cannot imagine this matters. Doing a recording you could make several takes so there is no risk. Apart from this I really like the performance. The "choreography" gives also some insight in the music's structure. Great!
+tro Rohe Thank you for the nice words! And well spotted, it is indeed true that the Cor Anglais bars are played by the horn. In the new and revised Nielsen edition, these bars have been moved to the horn part. You can find the revised edition here: www.kb.dk/export/sites/kb_dk/da/nb/dcm/cnu/pdf/CNU_II_11_chamber_music_2.pdf
best wishes from Carion.
+Carion Productions Thanks for the promt reply and even more for the link to the revised edtion! I relied on an old set of sheet music which is available on IMSLP/Retrucci and which I was using myself (up to now).
