ROSSINI William Tell overture | Nicolas BALDEYROU and friends !
Dear friends, I hope you’re well and all spent a very nice summer despite of the strange conditions ! It has been a long I didn’t post anything but I wanted to record a longer piece as usual, and I have to say that took quite a lot of time 😅😊 Then I decided to arrange the whole Rossini Guillaume Tell overture in my personal wind band version ❤️✨
This real symphonic poem ahead of its time starts with an incredible cello quintet describing a sunrise over the Swiss Alps, supported by basses and some timpani rolls announcing the storm coming. And I felt that this introduction would particularly fit for a bass clarinet ensemble and a contrabass.
The second movement of William Tell’s overture, the storm, is a highly dramatic moment depicting the episode in the 4th act when William is weathering a storm on a ship on his way to jail, taking the rudder and running aground on the beach.
The third movement is the famous « Ranz des vaches » that Rossini chose to be played by the English horn and the flute.
A Ranz des Vaches or Kuhreihen is a simple melody traditionally played on the horn by the Swiss Alpine herdsmen as they drove their cattle to or from the pasture. The Kuhreihen was linked to the Swiss nostalgia and Homesickness (also known as mal du Suisse "Swiss illness" or Schweizerheimweh "Swiss homesickness").
In my personal version, we’ll have lovely sheeps instead of cows, hope you won’t mind 🙏😊
Suddenly, the peaceful pastoral scene is interrupted by a fast-paced, high-intensity galop, which was a popular style of ballroom dance at the time. Titled “The March of the Swiss Soldiers”, it points toward the majestic final scenes of the opera, where the Swiss Armed Forces free their homeland from Austrian rule.
I would like to thank again and again all my friends who joined me for this video :
Anne-Sophie Neves piccolo
Magali Mosnier flute
Hélène Devilleneuve Oboe
Julien Hardy French bassoon
David Guerrier Trumpet
Antoine Ganaye Trombone
Stay safe, have a very nice Sunday and see you in two weeks for a brand new video ! ❤️

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.

In Rossini's arrangement of the tune it is split into 5 cello parts.
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.
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.❤

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.

I don't think TwoSet have ever featured Nicolas, I've tried to reach out via numerous methods but have never got a response, it's such a shame.
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.

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!
The music is fantastic but the William Tell cameos in the background really complete the video. 💛
Piccolo and flute players are amazing! Very precise, to be able to play super-fast passages in perfect timing together... wow!!
Congratulations on this gigantic project! You and your colleagues are so amazing! You playing is stunning, amazing articulation. Bravo 👏👏🎶🎼🐑🐑🐑🐑

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.
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!!
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!

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!
