For years I thought the serpent was a musical evolutionary dead-end, extinct because of it's woeful inadequacy. It was described as difficult to get a clean sound from, and overall a nightmare to play and to hear. I'm so delightful to hear so many beautiful modern performances on the hoary old beast! This one in particular was very nice, indeed.

Wie kann man nur so sauber, mit solcher Geläufigkeit und einem so schönen Ton spielen! 😮

Fantastic performance. So lovely!

So glad I subscribed. Worth the five year wait. 🐍

Esto es increible.

Thank you for uploading, always a treat to hear your playing! I wonder if you would consider ever playing a 3D printed instrument? I've never heard one played by an accomplished player and it would be nice to hear how they hold up (or don't) when played by somebody of your calibre.

Absolutely amazing playing. You continue to outdo yourself!

When you hear how other talented musicians struggle to produce such a good tone on this instrument and play in tune, it really puts it into perspective how talented Patrick Wibart is.

❤ bravo Patrick 👏 c’est toujours un délice pour les oreilles !! Quel artiste 👌

Superbe, un talent fou

Woah! It sounds so much better with an the period instruments!

nice, but all the other instruments are so quiet

Sounds fantastic! Thank you for sharing!! One complaint, though: the tricksy film production means we never see any section properly. The odd half an instrument, or the trombones through the harp strings. I'd love to be able to actually watch the whole brass section playing, and see what their various instruments are.

beautiful baroque music

So this is what it’s supposed to sound like when it’s so skillfully played. Bravo. I have never heard this played so well! Thanks for sharing .😊

This piece don't must be corrected.

Fluency, suppleness, softness, harmonic richness of tone akin to the human voice’s. This musician doesn’t so much play his instrument as make it sing.

The tone that these guys are releasing from these frankly very crappy instruments is beyond amazing.

The woodwinds at 5:50 😮

Wow!! Playing piston horns!

The music is fantastic, as the name would imply, but what I really enjoy is seeing so many period appropriate instruments! "Band Nerd" as I may be, but I love it. Thank you!

Wirklich beeindruckend, so noch nie vorher gehört👍

What a beautiful sound on the serpent! And that cello has six strings.

It's crazy to me how the one that sounds more like a tuba is the wooden one.

What a magician of sound Berlioz is! Superbly played! No wonder the audience burst into applause at the end...

Stunning beauty!!!

Anyone want to transcribe this down an octave for contrabass tuba? Pretty please!

Serpent basse ,also called "anaconda"

音程とるの大変でしょうに、素晴らしいイントネーションで素晴らしい演奏ですね！ブラボー！！

Only 2 “Fat” Trumpets, should be more than two, also 4 Trombones, 2 French Horns, with piston valves, and 2 Saxhorns, or Serpents. plus 4 Bassoons, that’s too many bassoons, and why 2 Harps? Most orchestra use one harp, and usually one bassoon.

Lovely. First I've ever heard.

Wow sounds like a bassoon!

Sounds like a combo between a bassoon and trombone.

Fantastic performance! Love the gorgeous smooth tone.

Comment s'appelle les cuivres au tout début svp ?

Thank you for sharing this!

Wow

Bravo! The first time I have ever heard a serpent played in a way that doesn't even hint at the physical struggle underlying the playing of it.

We play this as a stand tune for our school

I've seen so many people trying to play one of these and simply not being able, I genuinely thought it must be impossible. Thank you for proving me wrong, sir.

Chapeau!

Delightful.

Wonderful 👍🏻 I see serpents in museums all over Europe.

That was beautiful. I have heard very little serpent before - it is nice to hear it played really well.

This and the Overture to Mendelssohns A Midsummer Nights Dream are the two pierces that utilize the instrument the best.

This serpent has a mouthpiece shape that makes it easier to get a good embouchure. I think it’s made of good quality wood instead of many models that are/were made from papier-mâché, giving a much superior tone.

Pretty sure this tune is used to represent a sorta theme for death.... also this melody can be heard in nightmare before Christmas and of course, the shining just to name a few

1:47

Is the video of the entire performance available somewhere?

Très grande virtuosité ! Bravissimo !...
