What folks need to realize is that Bach composed the Chaconne for solo violin. If you've ever watched a violinist perform this piece, you quickly realize that it takes an exceptional player to even attempt it, it is so difficult. I play classical guitar and there are versions for classical guitar that are very well done, but it doesn't get any easier for guitarists. It still requires a player with exceptional skills. But what I love about Stokowski's arrangement is he is able to fully exploit the power and flexibility of the orchestra on this piece, releasing it from its chains of being confined to a single solo instrument.
Writing a piece like this one during Bach's time was impossible. The instruments didn't have the capacity to play this music and it would have been out of line with the expectations of the audience of the time. What would Bach had composed in modern times? LOVE this arrangement.
Bellísima Pieza. No me podría imaginar a Bach escuchando su obra para orquesta sinfonica cómo espectador dirigida por el Propio Stokowky. Jajajaja simplemente alucinante
I've love this video. Thx for share with us. I'm from Brazil, and love both music and classical builds. One day I'll visit this places, God bless you!.
Johann Sebastian Bach ....Bach? (trickling brook ?).......the Angels in Heaven, before the Throne of God, proclaim him...."Johann Sebastian ..Ozean !" ( Ocean ! )......( My Revised quote from Beethoven ) The Greatest Single Piece of Music In History. "Bach is like an astronomer who, with the help of ciphers, finds the most wonderful stars" -- FREDERIC CHOPIN "Now there is music from which a man can learn something" -- W.A. MOZART (on hearing Bach motets in Leipzig) "Not Brook but Ocean should be his name!" -- LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN ("Bach" is the German word for "brook") "Oh you happy sons of the North who have been reared at the bosom of Bach, how I envy you" -- GIUSEPPE VERDI "Bach is the most stupendous miracle in all music! " -- RICHARD WAGNER "Study Bach! There you will find EVERYTHING!" -- JOHANNES BRAHMS Music owes as much to Bach as religion to its founder -- ROBERT SCHUMANN "And if we look at the works of JS Bach - a benevolent god to which all musicians should offer a prayer to defend themselves against mediocrity - on each page we discover things which we thought were born only yesterday, from delightful arabesques to an overflowing of religious feeling greater than anything we have since discovered. And in his works we will search in vain for anything the least lacking in good taste" --- CLAUDE DEBUSSY The poetry, the atmosphere, the intensity of expression, the beauty of the preludes and fugues grip, overwhelm, and stimulate us. Let us not be afraid of the supreme contrapuntal science of the fugues, nor be overawed by the stern appearance and heavy wig of Father Bach. Let us gather around him, feel the love, the noble goodness that flow from each one of his phrases and that invigorate and bind us by ties strong and warm. - Carl Friedrich Zelter (letter to Goethe, 9 June 1827) (Zelter was the teacher of Felix Mendelssohn) Bach is the supreme genius of music... This man, who knows everything and feels everything, cannot write one note, however unimportant it may appear, which is anything but transcendent. He has reached the heart of every noble thought, and has done it in the most perfect way. -- Pablo Casals "She played Bach. I do not know the names of the pieces, but I recognized the stiff ceremonial of the frenchified little German courts and the sober, thrifty comfort of the burghers, and the dancing on the village green, the green trees that looked like Christmas trees, and the sunlight on the wide German country, and a tender cosiness; and in my nostrils there was a warm scent of the soil and I was conscious of a sturdy strength that seemed to have its roots deep in mother earth, and of an elemental power that was timeless and had no home in space." -- W. Somerset Maugham (from 'The Alien Corn') Bach is the beginning and end of all music. -- Max Reger When eminent biologist and author Lewis Thomas was asked what message he would choose to send from Earth into outer space in the Voyager spacecraft, he answered, "I would send the complete works of Johann Sebastian Bach." After a pause, he added, "But that would be boasting."

The biggest genius of the music and art: Bach.
When I listen to this music my goose pimples are so severe I have to grab a blanket! Heartbreakingly beautiful!

The last minute of this orchestration is the most heartbreakingly beautiful thing I have ever heard.
I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
@Scott Ryker Lately I have been using FlixZone. Just google for it =)

인간의 지성과 감성을 초월한 절대선의 경지를 엿볼수있는듯한 예술 작품이다.圓潭

Many many thanks for this wonderful arrangement by Stockowski in today's sound quality!!!
I've love this video. Thx for share with us. I'm from Brazil, and love both music and classical builds. One day I'll visit this places, God bless you!.
Universalité, totalité de l âme ....
Bravo!
In my opinion Bach's solo violin is more powerful than a whole symphonic orchestra.
Many Thanks-Just what the doctor ordered-hope your having a great weekend

Muy bonita la versión orquestal y las fotos de Alemania 🇩🇪
What a great arrangement by Stokowski! But I find this rendition more powerful than Stokowski's rendition.
yes that is the truth
この怪しげな、弦の合奏は、何を表しているんだ。バッハとは無関係じゃないか。しかし、音色的には魅力的で、練習する価値がある。オーケストラの中の、無意味な左右の交代は、面白い。ティンパニ、小太鼓の鳴るのも、素人ぽくって豪快だねえ。管の日本の合奏は、寂し気で、表情が魅力的。結局、聴衆を魅了する力に溢れていて、彼自身が怪物なんだ。銀色の髪、壁も銀色のホール。
