  • At Castle Köthen, where Johann Sebastian Bach wrote the Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, Midori fills the historical rooms with the sound of these masterpieces.
    For Midori, Bach’s music has always played a significant role in her life: “I lived with the music of Bach for as long as I can remember. His music has always been around me so it feels it always continued to develop inside me. Bach always teaches me to listen, to open my ears and open my mind.” Playing in the chambers of the Castle of Köthen, where Bach spent important and productive years, made a deep impression on the violinist. She said that the premises allowed her to feel connected to Bach and his music in an almost human way: “The sound of the music - how it actually came out, how it felt to be in those rooms - those are the memories I will take with me.”
    Midori plays Bach's Sonatas and Partitas (BWV 1001-1006) - for more information about the DVD/Blu-ray follow this link: bit.ly/2hKSfwW

      @@moseslim1747 in my country, there was an initiative for create a museum for blind people. The "artists" "community" was divided between those who said that arts are for people who can see normally and us, who believe arts don't have frontiers and it's available for everybody. Finally, we "triumphed". The national government said there was not enough money in the State coffers. But something everybody understood about that situation is the international laws about accessibility for people with disability are incredibly efficient in the final goal to secure the equity to the arts using the premise that technology is a way to access the arts via visual help devices that actually don't damage huge piece of art. Of course, if you want to have your credentials for ask that kind of access to the art and respect the preservation requirements that each that piece demands: for example to avoid the use of illumination devices that produce high levels of UV/IR radiation for obtain an image you'll need to enlarge to view details.

It re-captivates me every time. I just stop and stare, carried along by the musical lines. I am in awe of Bach, of Midori, and of this beautiful instrument. Just thank you.

    Запределье...
    Я заворожен Чаконой с 17 лет (а мне уже 60+).
    Мидори превзошла все прочее. Безупречная техника, на уровне волшебства. Но этого было много, ведь Чакону исполняли многие великие мастера.
    Скажем, Иегуди Менухин.
    Но дальше нужно включить чувства, что называется на разрыв аорты. Этот шедевр полон страсти, страдания, и полета, и глубокой философии.
    Все эти эмоции на прекрасном лице Мидори, с закрытыми глазами, погруженной внутрь себя, в удивительной медитации.
    Великая Чакона Баха сливается с великим японским духом.
    Целую следы ваших туфель, Мидори...

    Anyway, enough of my pedantry 😂 - superb playing.
    Those interested should definitely listen to this Chaconne played by various virtuoso classical guitarists also; the 6th en Re tuning bestows an especially resonant and soulful character...

      It's true, when I saw that her mother called her gifted to then let her practise so much. When I red that she played very all the Paganini caprices and Sonatas of Bach and so on, at the age of 7 and probably also younger. I can't think of the fact how her mother can call her self an artist, a musician. Music is not a competition it's the opposite. It's communication/ language that everyone understands. *I'm sorry for my bad english.

    全身を使って演奏に没頭する姿、ギタリストの山下和仁さんや歌手のMISIAさんを連想する。集中力、気力、説得力がすごい。
