Very nice, thank you for posting!!! You have a VERY cohesive sounding section (and you seem to match personalities as well).
I almost don't know how to put this into words, but I hear a very Germanic sound concept, and yet you are all obviously playing French made, French style clarinets. How do you approach clarinet playing in a way that gives you such a sound (all of you do it)?

I don't know if we have a "label" like "Germanic" or anything else to the sound. I can think that each one of us sound quite different from one another when playing individually. It seems like we are striving towards a fairly "dark" sound as in contrary to a "bright" sound. Other than that I think a group sound is something created in the moment out of respect and inspirational impulses between each other. As a second player I know what the principal sounds like and my ears compell me to do whatever necessary to blend in as well as possible. It happens that I choose reed depending on if it's the principal or the co-principal playing.
My two cents,
Alphie

Alphie's reference, or for that matter the websites reference to "Subtitles in English will follow" implies which:
1) That English subtitles are not yet, but otherwise on the agenda to be made for this video, or
2) English subtitles, already made, follow the conclusion of this video...which if so, I missied them.
I want to guess it's the first scenario.
Thanks.

All I know at the moment is what it says at the end of the text below the start page, that "subtitles in English will follow." They will probably make an update shortly I think? I will post it as soon as I see it!

Alphie,
Nice sounding group. Which player are you?
The circular breathing was very cool.

Hank, I play Eb and contra in this clip. I recommend to watch some of the concerts on this play site, as well as other instrument demonstrations. Some of them are entertaining.

Cheers,

Haha, "forest of clarinets" is very literally translated from Swedish. We have a lot of trees here and we refer to what we see!
