Thanks Twoset for shining the light on this wonderful interpretation!

It takes a lot of courage for a violinist like Jansen to play this as an encore. She's amazing. To non violinists it probably sounds more beautiful than difficult. If you're a fiddle player and you've worked on unaccompanied Bach you know how scary it is to play the G minor adagio. Incredibly tough challenges for bow control and precise intonation -- the slightest bow crunch would be audible. But if you can pull it off -- and she does -- it's breathtaking.

In 60 years of loving Bach and Playing and Conducting Bach, I have never heard this played better. I went back and listened to Perlman…it is still great, but this young woman was here in touch with something of the music of the spheres…divine revelation if you will. Truly gooseflesh producing. And DO GO TO TWOSET TO UNDERSTAND HOW INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT this is and the incredible control she showed. Remarkable…

Janine Jansen touches my heart as very few musicians do. She is awesome!

I never gave Bach fair consideration until I heard her perform this piece; I always have been about the Beethoven. But good God - the devastating undulation of emotions; the gorgeous nuance and delicacy with which she tears your heart out and shreds it to pieces. Im in tears, and I'm in awe. I will watch anything this spellbinding sorceress has recorded. Thanks, twoset, for bringing me here.

Wow. This might have been the best thing I've watched on KZfaq. ...and I've watched a lot of youtube....

That violin is over 300 years old. It has witnessed a succession of it's lovers grow great, caressing it, loving it, making it sing, grow old, and die. As it grows in value, as it's memories of their caresses, it feels a greater and greater loss, until it sings it's pain as sweetly as this one, under its most recent lover's gentle encouragement.

Hard to believe that this came right after she shredded the Tchaikovsky apart.

Wow. this is just beyond perfect... incredible interpretation of Bach's work.!

What I like about this is her understanding of the phrasing and overall structure of the piece. These Bach adagios have layer upon layer of subtleties, and there is no one right way to play them in order to bring them out. But there are plenty of ways to play them that just sound like notes. This performance is way more than just notes!

This piece is so interesting to learn. While Perlman's version sound like a duet, Jansen's version sound like a solo violinist. But both are stunning. (On a personal note, I love the duet effect that Perlman created with this piece).

Trually amazing rendition - the emotion is there. Feel Janine has been through something and conveys this in her performance. One of the best I've heard of this amazing work by Bach. Thankyou Janine. .

That is exactly how it should be played. Magnificent.

its not the sarabande in d-minor, but the adagio, first movement of the first sonata

Flawless and beautiful sound. So touched. :)

So beautiful! 😢 Bach would-be proud!

Soft and yet so powerful.

The sound is PERFECTLY CLEAR! IT'S AMAZING !!!

Yeah ! I hear that's one of the most greatest Adagio by J.S.Bach which every violinist try to play it so far. I was moved so much Jansen's adagio touch, splendid, wonderful, excellent. especially in the 16 note passages by way of heart-rending ornament. I would feel listening to some story that is singing in perfect sorrow at most, I wonder if it might be Agony! I would have ever listened to Maestra Jansen at Santry Hall in Japan, Great to hear that.so beautiful remembrance!

Absolutely gorgeous interpretation

She plays SOOoooo beautifully!!!!♥♥

Wrenches one's heart with its sheer emotion so beautifully rendered here by J Jansen. None of the men violinists can match the feeling that has gone into this version. Bless you JS Bach and many thanks to Janine. Bravo!

It's the first time i cry listening to a single violinist... How beautiful and sad this performance is....

Incredible talent + the Stradivarius = all the difference. This kind of performance makes people love the violin. Admiration, encouragement, Bravo! And thank you! ***/*** Incroyable talent + le Stradivarius = toute la différence. Ce genre de performance fait aimer le violon. Admiration, encouragement, Bravo! Et Merci!

Her phrasing and delicate energy makes this piece really shine. Another marvelous rendition is the adaptation for lute by Hopkinson Smith.

This narrow vibrato matches perfectly with Bach's music, a really beautiful performance, even the control of the bow is ❤

This is so good.

Maravillosa interpretacion de este Adaggio de J S Bach la violinista es perfecta en esta obra

Awesome performance 💯

Sublime.

Arrestingly beautiful X

**** Perfect ****❤️

Wunderschön

Bel adagio relaxant et merci janine la virtuose.

hey isn't this the adagio of the first sonata in g minor? Anyway it was amazing!!!!! I wish could play it half as good as her

Still the best ever................

I have a feeling that JSB would have been very happy to hear this playing of his piece

A few musicians can take you away without your even realising it. For me she is one of those few

❤❤❤

My favorite now, along with Milstein. She really understands it.

Traumhaft!

Mastery.

Very nice

Best Violinistin!!! and best Strad!!!

Her interpretation is almost perfect!!!!!!!!

She’s unreal!!

Olağanüstü...

Sublime! J'aime autant que la version de Grumiaux.

I also want to play like you.

Erg goed ! Beautifull Janine

Молодец!

En respuesta a: (Buibuiopolis Mayor hace 7 años This piece is so interesting to learn. While Perlman's version sound like a duet, Jansen's version sound like a solo violinist. But both are stunning. (On a personal note, I love the duet effect that Perlman created with this piece)). Todas las versiones son tan distintas como neandertales y sapiens. No es una obra para aprender, precisamente... aunque quizás... Pau Casals paseaba por Las Ramblas de Barcelona los domingos, acompañando a su Padre, a principios del siglo XX, y, muy casualmente, escarbando entre los libros "de viejo" de "los puestos" encontraron una edición muy infrecuente (¿quién habría editado eso?) de las Partitas para Chelo Solo de J.S.Bach (BWV1007-1012). Y en casa, el incipiente músico, muy cabezota, parece, decidió dedicarse al instrumento, y a estudiar las partitas. Al joven Casals, que llegaría a establecer su instrumento musical como uno de los principales, le llevó más de 10 años decidirse a mostrarlas al resto del mundo. Después, con la ayuda de su amiga clavista Wanda Landowska, ahí quedó J.S.Bach. Y aparecieron más partitas. Casi toda la obra conocida, y no quemada en la chimenea de algún hijo desaprensivo, de J.S.Bach es meramente didáctica. Frecuentemente de ENORME DIFICULTAD. Sobre la que Él opinaba algo así como: "- ¡¿Y si sale bonita, qué le vamos a hacer?!". (Se ha especulado sobre si cierta obra de J.S.Bach debiera servir simplemente de lectura. Landowska opinaba que no, claro.)

You can hear her breathing as if she is about to sing every single phrase.

And so hard to tell that she's playng a normal violin (Stradvarius) and not a baroque one.......best Bach interpretation(better than hahn-bell) of our days....best Bach sound

I think this is from the same concert as when she busted out a perfect Tchaikovsky 3rd mov , hyfitz is my preferred piece for this as well though its close

0:16

Wasn't this a encore?

2set army?

the title is wrong.

Sarbanda? this is the adagio of the Sonata no. 1 Bach. Corigos that title. Greetings!

That's Bach. Rough and direct.

Ok seriously what kind of a troll would dislike this video

Why does it say Sarabande at the beginning? It’s not a Sarabande

1:22 lady in back she look jelly

How good to you have to be to play this music like this?

special interpretation good only for beauty and handsome

Hub, Soest

I think I have heard this song in a Bugs bunny cartoon. Cool.......

*breathes*

I don't even play violin but came here bec of 2 set

Bach would be completely beside himself.. I'm quite sure he had Janine in mind when he wrote this piece. Well played Bach.... well played...

in g minor

I play the guitar and I want to learn violin instead because of Two set and this piece! But I can't afford one

这首曲子放在艾尔登法环里会有别样的感觉

Bach , subtle? I guess so. Yikes this grabs hold of my guts.

I'm starting to realize that me making strange faces while I violin is not that weird.

its not even d minor... its g minor :)

One warms up with heavy duty Tchaikovsky to touch Bach this way. Would she have performed this way if the order were flipped?!

In the video it's written Sarabande hahahahahahha

"Grave" from second Sonata in A minor for solo violin by Bach.

I always find it surprising when even a virtuoso as outstandingly accomplished as Jansen hasn't taken the trouble to find a chinrest that actually fits her. It's clear from the early frames of this performance that her rest is nowhere near suitable for her physique and violin hold. What non-players probably don't understand is the terrible price so many violinists and violists pay in terms of serious injury. When you see that someone like Jansen, who has worked with the best teachers, still has poor ergonomics you begin to understand why. There is also a great deal of tension in her jaw, neck and shoulders, and in her extreme Galamian-style bow-hold. This is not a safe way to play the violin! Violin pedagogy really needs to be focusing on teaching technique that doesn't injure the players. The principles are well understood, but very few teachers seem to honour them.

NO RHYTHM! Bach wrote RHYTHMS!

this is Grave from the SECOND sonata in A-minor BWV 1003.
