Amazing!!! Chaconne after chaconne, in violin and other 4 different instruments, I specially enjoyed the organ interpretation, achieving some so luminous and dark sounds, with deep contrasts, with a devastating final, so powerful!!! but on the other hand, also enjoyed the guitar one, so intimate, yet dramatic as these piece asks for. 👏🙌👏
This is a great idea, using one of Bach's most famous pieces. In my personal opinion (and I know others will disagree) the transcriptions don't work as well as the original for violin - they lose its stridency, so much part of its charm. The piano version sounds almost as though it could have been a composition by one of the romantics, the harpsichord version lacks the expressive quality possible to wring out of a violin. The organ and guitar versions are probably the best alternatives to the original, but still lack something. The album demonstrates that the music was designed for the violin and is probably best left there.
Well, I would agree if you had said pathos rather than stridency (stridency really isn’t a complimentary word, are you sure that’s what you meant?), but disagree that transcriptions don’t have their place, even if a romantic Bach sounds incongruous.
Interesting, the difficulty in this unique piece is to bring the wonderful hidden characteristics in front as done by Heifetz, Milstein, Perlmann, Menuhin, Sato, Kim and many others. There is Weltschmerz and the outlook to heavenly ecstasy. This I miss.
Well the piano transcription is by Busoni of course, but credit should also be given to the other transcriptionists (who are they?). It’s certainly interesting to compare the keyboard versions with each other, but to my mind the Busoni towers over the harpsichord version, but maybe that’s just my piano prejudice! The organ sounds much like an organ version of Busoni. I’ve also come to realize recently that, in spite of how much I love all of Bach’s music, my two absolute favourites are both transcriptions: the Busoni Chaconne and Stokowski’s orchestral version of the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor. I sometimes wonder how Bach himself would have reacted to hearing all these later transcriptions: Liszt, Busoni, Respighi, Elgar, Stokowski, not to mention the numerous brass ensemble and guitar versions. I expect he would have been pleased and perhaps somewhat astonished.
The guitar version sounds like the standard Segovia transcription that most use which, if I'm not mistaken, borrowed heavily from the Busoni transcription. That said, it uses fewer bass notes than most guitarists I've heard use. I haven't studied the Segovia transcription myself so I'm not sure if the performer is using fewer bass notes than Segovia, or if that transcription already has a sparse bass part. I do know it's a bit of a trend at the moment among guitarists to play Bach with very little added from the original score, so with far fewer added bass notes. Not just in the Chaconne, but in his other works transcribed for guitar, such as the cello suites. It sounds like that's what this performer was going for; the sort of stripped-back, barebones sound. Personally, I like the guitar versions that fill out the harmonies with additional voices. Take advantage of the fact that your instrument is capable of doing so-- why not? Bach's music is indestructible; it will survive even the most violent transcriptions as long as it is performed earnestly and with musical integrity.
Bach uber alles...einfach lieben wie niemand....wunderschön gespielt....
The Chaconne of Bach, a Blessing, a Gift that purifies the Soul... Thank you for sharing these wonderful interpretations!

Sounds good I thank you for this music. I like to read my Bible to it.
Omg I love this, I've never heard this before
Thanks! My soul needs Bach ❤️
37:33 ~ 40:58 is what magic is all about.
I love the Chaconne of Bach.
Thank you very much for sharing this.💖💖💖
Great idea! Agree with the other commenters who enjoyed the variety of presentation styles in this collection. Very interesting.
Esa pieza siempre la identifico con el drama de un corazón desgarrado con un corazón dolido tratando de sanar o por lo menos dar esa impresión
If there are video clips, it’ll be fantastic.
I am sure that the sonaten and partites for violin solo are the works where is shown the brilliant tallent of the kantor of leipzig.

Very nice program. It is so fun to compare same composition on 5 different instruments.
I love the violin version and guitar version, especially.
이 음악을 어떤 음악과 비교할 수 있을까요. 듣고 또 들어도 그저 감탄.
오늘도 감사드립니다.
comparée à aucune car incomparable et unique !....
Thanks,🕊❤God bless you all !
It`s very beautiful! Thank you.
Sublimité mystique.
Praise the Lord! Hallelujah! Give thanks to the Lord!
Estou viciado nessa musica👏👏👏👏
esperaba más de la transcripción para órgano, creo que la versión para saxos, clarinete , oboe etc es mucho más sinfónica y sentimental
I need this album!
Gracias!!!
Beautiful music
The piano version is by Busoni and I think the organ transcription is by Henri Messerer but surely the arrangers/transcribers should be credited?
Omg 😱😭

Who is the transcriptor of harpsichord version?

What's the name of the painting in tje background?
Playing The Chaccone on The Guitar is a Knuckle Cracker.
Just ask Segovia.

@Konstantin Ridaya New instruments: Yes! I forgot to mention Wendy Carlos!

Barati’s performance is too harsh it would have been much better if you used an HIP performance like rachel podger’s or shunsuke sato’s
busoni ?
Кто исполняет?
The artist is mentioned in the tracklist in the description, behind the track title between the brackets ()
This is Bach?
Most definitely, yes. The last movement from his 2nd Partita for solo violin, BWV 1004.
Of course!!
Wenn Bach diese dilettantische Verhunzung seiner Musik erlebt hätte, hätte er die Flucht ergriffen.
Seelenlos und effekthascherisch.
Nicht anzuhören !
