  • Paganini Caprice no.24 on Baritone Saxophone
    Baritone saxophone : Maxime Bazerque
    Music video director : Etienne Vaillend
    5 years ago, I played Paganini Caprice at the Halle aux grains in Toulouse. It was the beginning of a new life in the Conservatoire de Paris. Today, I’m finishing my studies at this school and I need to think about my artistic inspirations. This video marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new, with an artistic freedom.
    It’s a contemporary vision of Paganini which is not inspired by violin version. I tried to keep the spirit of the work and the virtuosity of the original instrument, but on baritone saxophone. I want to prove that transcription is not a pale copy of a work but a different vision of it, with qualities and defaults. The essence of the piece remains the same but I revisit it with a modern take.
    « New Vision Project » is a collaboration with Etienne Vaillend. Through a series of videos, it will try to depict a personal artistic vision. It will include works that have a strong link between one another for me. This project will also show a common vision between video and music. All the works make sense in my personal artistic life and research of an artistic way. It’s a way to discover yourself and understand your own vision of art, with a new vision which tries to break some traditional musical codes.

    It is really a damn shame that saxophones are the “black sheep” of the woodwinds, especially in “”professional”” orchestral settings. They are so overlooked and maligned yet have amazing capacity for virtuosity and emotion alike, like you have displayed. Bravo!

    I think baritone sax is the "Magnum Opus" of saxophones and possibly even woodwinds altogether. It's big enough to hit impactful lows and keep rhythm but just small enough to have altissimo with extreme clarity (given someone can control it). A truly versatile and beautiful instrument.
    Fantastic performance, sir!

      @zvonimirtosic6171 3 роки тому +1

      The main reason for lack of saxophone in the classical genre, is the pitch of the available saxophones; there are no quality saxophones in the Concert key of C, only in Bb and Eb. Bb and Eb saxes are more suited for marching bands, not classical orchestra. Thus the saxophone family is missing a melodic centre, which is important in composing for a family of instruments.
