lmao

just read that quote in zia haider rahman's 'in the light of what we know' :)

you forgot the best part! 'If one doesn't have the greatest violinist around, then it is well the most beautiful pleasure to simply listen to its sound in one's mind.' Awesome quote though, thanks for sharing :)

Totally agree

Betrayal,Tragedy,Deceit!

昨年父を亡くした時に、シャコンヌが魂の救いでした。父はこの曲をギターでよく弾いていました。私も父を思いつつ練習しています。

To those people I would show them this, Toccata and Fugue in D minor, Kyrie Eleison from Mass, the Passacaglia, etc. I personally think that Bach was (and will ever be) the greater composer of all time musically speaking.

Summary: Bach essentially gave birth to the rest of music.

who are the clueless idiots that make these claims? there is no more emotional and beautiful than bach.

AMPepin1992 I observe that people tend to hate Bach when they're kids learning violin/cello/viola/piano for the first time because it doesn't sound exciting or personal enough, but as they grow older they appreciate Bach more and more.

+crazeechickee11 I adore Bach. In fact, I think this Chaconne in particular is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. However, I would not go quite so far as to call Bach the parent of all subsequent (Western) music. Not *quite* a parent; more of a godfather and a dedicated tutor. Granted, the distinction is rather fine, but music would still have progressed similarly had he not existed (although it would be much poorer!). Similarly, but not the same, for he did indeed have a major influence on music. Bach continues to be a loving guide and teacher to musicians - even those unfamiliar to him. As a piano teacher, I hope to connect people with his work (and that of may other worthy composers), and point out what makes him so amazing.

+Tiger Whitten well, all of them are almost perfect

Vincent Kretschmer i would say Hahn had the highest technical performance. Pearlman is definitely more powerful opening

I want to add also Christian Ferras!

How about Gitlis?

So much so!!!!

yes

+tech niche On one of the best violins ever made.

Yeah... i dont know why the video is splitted too. The second part is just as important as the first. The calm that arrived after that very last note of the first part is very deep. No, every note on this playing of chaconne is deep as hell though.

It's cuz youtube doesn't allow to upload longer videos than 7 minutes sometimes.

Because when it was uploaded in 2007 KZfaq didn't allow more than 10 minutes of video. So instead of talking nonsense please inform yourself. Only verified accounts could do it starting from 2010. Also later KZfaq extended that limit to 15 minutes.

one name. Gitlis

"...this is not easy to do." Understatement of the decade.

You might enjoy this. facebook.com/julia.fischer.page/videos/240785223826050/ I had the idea to do a "quarantine version" of Bach's Chaconne together with some other violinists. Here's what Augustin Hadelich says about how it started: "In early April, I was talking to my friend The Official Julia Fischer, and she told me about an idea she had during this quarantine: what if she played the first 8 bars of Bach's Chaconne and then asked friends and colleagues to record the other variations? I immediately jumped on board, and volunteered to compile the videos from everybody, and now the video is ready! Other members of the "cast" include (in order of appearance): Renaud Capuçon, Klaidi Sahatçi, Alexander Sitkovetsky, Nicola Benedetti, Andreas Janke, Daniel Röhn, Lisa Batiashvili, Lena Neudauer, James Ehnes, Stefan Jackiw, Rudens Turku and Vadim Gluzman! (And everyone plays more than once) It was really fun to work on something together, and this video will make for a lovely memory of this strange time in which we are living!"

Most excellent rendition -- thanks for the referral, Irina Klyuev.

+jean de la croix -- magical & meaningful! He doesn't let technique get in the way -- when I first heard this, I was so emotional & the thought occurred 'what if......Jimi Hendrix had learned violin' -- it's not that much of a stretch: Hahn, Mullova, & let's not forget Kennedy -- all perfect: But this is Badass!!!!!

Have you heard the extract from Lozakovich's performance ? I find it extremely moving too, and I heard it once more and in full when I went to one of his concerts, it was splendid. I don't like Hahn's interpretation, though she might be my favourite violinist (her recording of Beethoven vc is a wonder)

This piece takes my breath away and strikes the very depth of my soul.

how long have you played the violin?

@@chriss6356 i play this piece too and im now playing 10 years

Toni Anzlovar I didn't like the comparably sleepy version of his arpeggio section or his wild liberties with tempo, but otherwise I agree with you.

if you listen to Hilary, she has the flow throughout the piece, from beginning to end. so much that it's unnerving how one can do it in a piece.like this

@Klippy Klop ok cool, then i guess I've wasted my life playing the violin :(

@Klippy Klop oh :( okay cool, I guess the 60 years he spent on the violin was a total waste too, sigh, thanks man for finally making me realise my errors

@Klippy Klop If you really don't see the irony in your own cycle metaphor then it doesn't need to me that has to point out who's the musical ignoramus here lol.

Yes!! Same here!!

I thing the best two interpretations of Chaconne are Perlman and Hilary Hahn. Even Vengerov doesn’t come as close.

Try James Ehnes @@MohammedHajjar

Thanks for suggesting his name. I've never heard of him before and it's quite a nice performance. Love it. @@zoobob5794

+Affair I personally think what sets this apart from the others is that Perlman doesn't rush the music. From the opening notes he takes his time letting each note resonate beautifully. He stretches the notes out and doesn't cut them off so it isn't choppy, even with the multiple stops. As you say, there is a smooth, mellifluous tone which shows his complete control over the music; everything is played so clearly and without being overly expressive but deeply emotional. Perfect to my ear.

Hahn takes her time with it as well. Comparatively Perlman seems to be racing through it.

Exceptional rendition, but listen to Nathan Milstein's rendition too, also exceptional!

Definitely agree. Very rich tone, I don't feel like I'm missing any of the layers like other performances.

Exactly my thoughts after hearing this performance.

It made me cry

I'm not sure if you're joking, but you can put the bow on two, three, or even four (as the Chaconne requires) at once. But I agree, this piece has its rightful place as one of the classical violinist's most challenging works to play.

You cannot place the bow on more than 2 strings because of the curve of the bridge. However you can make it appear that you are playing more then two strings at once

well technically you can if you press hard enough on the bow near the bridge you can play a 3 note chord all at once.

I think OP was complimenting the performance.

Cuz Bach was a Genius especially for composing pieces for solo instruments such as the violin and cello

"No not Bach. You don't understand it."

It is NOT a song, by definition a song is SUNG (use your dictionary). It is a piece.

Do you mean like "the gangsta pulled out his piece and popped a cap" or do you mean "I wonder if she will give me piece if I buy her dinner and a bottle of wine" or "I will piece together the meaning of life from the tribulations and trials of youtube posters" or "Piece lieb me alone" said the Mexican to Trump?

Written for the 2nd Partita in d minor for violin, circa 1720.

Sameee

lol

the comment i was looking for 😂

Jajajajjajaja xD

Xx justabitofmagic

Mariana Herrera I watched that episode today! That part sounded familiar to me, so I thought, "I'll check out this song afterwards."

Why should she. She had her own brand.

A little wink to classical music I guess. I agree! This piece is dramatic and beautiful!

+drago97531 Dude she couldnt play this if she tried . Besides, her musical talent/ability on the violin is that of an elementary violinist.

+Dany Stride She's a talented artist, but she is nowhere near classical musicians performing pieces like this. But you don't see Hilary Hahn putting on a *show* as Lindsey does. They're just different to a point where they can hardly be compared.

I want to see you play this too
