Her violin tone is beautiful and divine. It's like you‘re in another world. She is one of the most great violinist in the world. Her violin tone is nothing less than miraculous.
I've heard this piece 2 dozen times by different performers. That's my favourite interpretation. It's so sensitive and authentic. It's a compelling gem; a blank canvas for interpretation I see something different in it with every performer, but your interpretation and artistry is phenomenal you make every note means something to me as a fellow musician I mean wow to achieve that with the hardest piece in the entire solo violin repertoire and the best. I love that!
Very compelling performance of this often played piece. I admire her inimitable artistic vision. She uses a modern bow, but she holds it a little higher up the stick to get the lightness of a baroque bow. I’ve never seen that! And her up bow chords are a thing of beauty. The Chaconne is so difficult, especially for the right hand, that overcoming the immense technical challenges and still having enough in the tank to convey a unique and moving musical message is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Midori! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I actually got the chance to perform Bach with her when I was in youth symphony. She made the entire orchestra hold their bows just like she does in the video in order to achieve a more Baroque sound. She is amazing!
@@paulcaswell2813 I love all the Milstein Bach interpretations for the solo unaccompanieds, they are actually the versions my teacher had me lean heavily on (she was extremely old school, studied with boulanger etc) but for some reason the Heifetz version, especially the later recordings, capture me for the chaconne
This is the tone, the language, the conversation I have been trying to just let happen between me and the violin for my entire life. She really tells an emotionally complex story and stays in the clarity of it, throughout. I must have listened to this 20 times, always planning to multi-task, and I'm never able to. 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.
I've been to a lot of live performances in my life. Starting in the sixties. Everything from pure country to classical and everything in between. Midori stands out amongst them all as the finest performance I've ever seen. Even better than The Grateful Dead. When she performs her heart is truly in it.
@@rickdeckard1075 I hate when people say playing is "robotic" no playing can really be described as "robotic", it's more like it's just lively in a different way and in this recording the music was definitely not robotic.
I needed to grade some exam papers and I tought I'd like some good old Bach but God, Midori is so expressive and impressive that I look at the paper but I can't see because I'm taken over by the emotion this rendition evokes in me! A true virtuoso forces you to listen!
Was it available to take photos/video from the manuscript? Surely I would ask for permission using my International right to access any material via electronic devices due visual disability. But I ask for "normal" people.
@@eternafuentedeluzdivina3189 no you can't, no photograph is allowed in the museum hmmm.. but i do allowed to take a photo of it since i am filming a documentary there.
@@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.
She has absolutely tapped into the very essence AND expounded on it. What a gift this person has given us with all those decades (I am sure) of hard work and love for the craft. Brought me to tears at a point
New favorite performance - a great synthesis of baroque and modern style, without the heaviness of a lot of famous recordings. Also a really innovative bowing that works really well.
Utterly sublime ~ thank you! So satisfying to hear when a musician projects an understanding of the work in its entirety while still giving all the finer arcs of beauty and structure their due. Ravissant❤
What I like is that both her musical concept and actual playing are light and forward-moving, not at all heavy or lumbering. The pulse is swift and flowing, for after all a chaconne was a dance, not a morose philosophical meditation. Very beautiful.
Dance and meditation are closer than meditation and philosophy. In my opinion, Midori expresses the dance in its meditative lightness - her interpretation has wings.
I'd argue that the Chaconne, though derived from a dance, was used in this instance to write a very morose piece. I don't think Bach wrote long minim chords in D minor as a means of getting everyone up on their feet 😆
@@sammy3212321 Ah, but those long minims soon enough divide and multiply into chains of running notes, expressive of just every human emotion imaginable. Bach never used dance forms as a means of 'getting people up on their feet,' but rather as a way to explore the extremes of the human condition.
How beautiful! Great she brought this wonderful piece of music back to where it originated. One of the most moving Interpretations of the Chaconne I have ever heard - and seen!
Lovely. She is totally at one with the music and with Maestro Bach. After more than 40 years of listening to these pieces, I never tire of hearing them being so beautifully played. She is right up there with the late Nathan Milstein, IMHO, which is high praise indeed.
I don't want to compare this remarkably daring performance to who's and who's. Hundreds must be a humble estimate of Chaconne performances that have blessed me in my walk of life. And still today, Midori made my eyes wet right in the first minute into. Daring, honest performance only masters can admit themselves with no shame or fear. Bravo, Midori.
Got to see her do the Barber Concerto with the LA Phil the season before they moved to Walt Disney Hall. It was life changing. I'm a string bass player studying the Cello suites, but when I prepare to play Bach, I put this video on.

Is it always about the how the violinist holds the bow to the instrument?

That Guarneri helps a little ;-)

繊細かつ大胆な弾きっぷり。見事。場所も衣装も品が良く格調高い雰囲気。かと言って気取り過ぎず、まるでプライベートコンサートの様な喜びを感じさせる。とても素晴らしい演奏。何度聴いても飽きない。
Absolutely perfect. Every time she plays, I admire her.
This piece is like the concentration of what the player has been through in his/her life. She plays with such resilience. It’s mind blowing.
Well put
almost robotic, kind of ruins the piece

haha I didn't even notice the baroque-ish hold! Good point! I will always love Heifitz's version best but I love the simplicity in this one
The bow hold is pretty common!

Maturity has given her the skill to play those fine nuances
こんなすばらしい演奏をするとは！！感動で目頭がジーンとくる。。。。。
Bravo! We are blessed for having a great violinist like her in our time.Thanks Miss. Midori.
When she plays, I no longer know where the violin, the person and the music are. I only feel unity and timeless grace.
That's very well explained

@@ForeverDokkan yes, she debuted as a solo violinist at only age 11
Beary Wow close enough. o7

A great artist and a great human being.
Truly 🙏🎶🎵

(I am sure) of hard work and love for the craft. Brought me to tears at a point
I love it. Being musical without excessive vibrato is the finest violin playing.
How wonderful to get to watch this. A gift. Thank you.
Finally, we have the most perfect conception and execution of the Chaconne. Natural, unaffected, sincere, warm, probing. Just feels "right."
Played with such beauty, style, taste and grace.
I don’t like histrionic comments on RUclips, but this is a seriously overwhelmingly beautiful performance. What genius!
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
I love Midori's passionate and vibrant playing and how it also translates into her physical posture and movement. Bravo! 👏👏👏
New favorite performance - a great synthesis of baroque and modern style, without the heaviness of a lot of famous recordings. Also a really innovative bowing that works really well.
正に秀逸!全てが美しく みどりの演奏は いつも魂を揺さぶられます!
Dignified, Beautiful flow of Movements & Sound. My deepest respect to her Artistic Integrity.
Wow. Speechless. Started listening to Midori as a child prodigy, this rendition of Chaconne is Monumental.
This imperishable masterpiece never fails to move me, and Midori's interpretation of it is sublime. I love it.

Amazing, you feel the intense emotion.
I agree. It feels relaxed and tense at the same time to me. I wonder if Midori is taking her time to admire and appreciate beauty of each harmony?
