That tempo is insane. Way to go young man (or young men, LOL).
Wow! I can only imagine how long it took to do the arrangment and then record that many tracks.
I can’t tell his age, but if that was a college admissions projected, I’d admit him.
You can guess how long by looking out the window that appears in several segments and see the seasons have changed behind him. It certainly took at least 6 months I’d guess.
Chicago Symphony, there’s your new chief conductor!
Yes, this is how they will sound if they follow every advice from “well-wishing” non-musicians.
That should give him a wide variety of choices for sub work.
Mm-hm. Is there any one instrument that’s he’s any good at?
He seems to be more of a reed player to my ears.
Sounds like Kurt Weill orchestrated it.
Which is not a bad thing.
Wow that’s so impressive, way to go! Really fun to try to guess which instrument is probably his main instrument…my guess is clarinet, it seemed really solid. Thanks for this fun video, really needed in this space!
This is remarkable because we don’t hear about such young people, but my father in Leipzig Conservatory (1920s) and my niece learned to play all the instruments in the orchestra in order to qualify to be a music teacher. The fact that this young man is so good at several instruments speaks well to his intelligence and diligence. Good luck to him if he teaches or conducts.
Wow. He must do really well financially, what with the doubling fees.
