Chaconne at Home for 14 violinists 

Underrated comment lol

Hello Eddy / Harry Potter

*all* rip

Epico

Augustin and Ray, Please expand your program on showing how you once played a passage, and after you matured all these wonderful observations occurred to you as you matured and listened. The back and forth conversations were very valuable to me [a lapsed cellist].. I think non-instrumental persons would also understand the refinements you were suggesting and take heart. I would definitely subscribe to a program that featured the back & forth conversations such as those which you [ Augustin & Ray] had. It was like going to a Casals Masterclass in the late 50s & sitting in the audience , soaking everything up. We are trying to do similar programs for our Seattle Chamber Music Festival audience this July without putting the health of our musicians , audience, staff and fans at risk. Keep going on this track !!!

Eddie

the reason is because its so f*ckin hard

i don't know what you mean by "like this" but there are plenty music in classical music that are not only as famous but as good as this chaconne :D

It's a profound work. You can play it in a hundred different ways and it always sounds epic in any style. It gives the player tremendous artistic freedom, but it's also fantastically difficult to pull off those arpeggios and chords cleanly even with a baroque model bow.

True... so full of meaning...😀

@@San-lh8us Post a few titles/links? This is my favorite classical piece.

Exactly. ..no one musician will ever be the same and that adds beauty to this performance. 👏👏👏❤

@@mattwoolford6305 For sure, every musician will have his/her own view on this masterpiece. All are welcome.

My favorite moment in the piece by far! I was so happy to hear it in that way

Right? I was hearing in the background and had to look to see who it was

Agreed. It's absolutely exquisite and brilliant

That was really beautiful and amazing!

It just isn't right! Now I can't listen to Chaconne anymore!!! The moment I heard that part, I immediately stopped the video and started searching for his Chaconne performance. I don't know why but it seems it does not exist! Please let me know if you can find it. I am searching for almost a week now...

Vadim Gluzman also used it.

Renaud also

Serious dedication right there

Gluzman also has baroque bow

I heard that baroque bow is easier to play Bach music than modern bows

Me to

Several of them could sell a performance of this piece. I would buy one. IDK why they aren't recording and selling, this is the most beautiful and moving piece of classical music I've ever heard.

@@mscir I know Hilary Hahn has a recording of this in her very first Bach album but I don’t know about the other violinists

@@ILikeBirds Julia Fischer has also recorded Chaconne in one of her “Bach” albums. For me, the tempo of Hilary Hahn’s Chaconne is too slow.

You may have already found it : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SrjIMBpwuK4.html

@@virginiegirardon6449 I would like to see it tho. I saw a RU-vid video where he performs it live in NY and I can't find it anymore 😭

It makes me cry every time.

Its major, but somehow the saddest part

@@toiletjunpaper It's like all the sweet memories are forever gone

​@@user-hr5gh7yv6wit's almost like reminiscing on good memories at a funeral

That's my absolute favourite part ❤ so delicate and beautiful 🥹

Same here, quite amazing and very uplifting.

I was thinking about Nestor Eidler. Best Bach of all time!

I just now stumbled across this extraordinary collaborative recording of the Chaconne. I agree wholeheartedly with your post. If a person is depressed about the state of the world, this recording is the perfect antidote.

Yup. Eyes are damp here too.

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

I couldn't say it as well as you, but in my heart I participate😀

Yes it's really wonderful!!!

Violin Hobby so was Lisa Batiashvili 😁

@@fgorlando Nice...I missed it.

fgorlando no she wasn’t, that’s a French bow

@@Ishsa Thanks.

@Alan Deutsch ok.

Noone plays it ecatly bc different intubation and feel but same piece and amazing waw

Hi. "Sei" in italian has two meanings. One is the second person of the verb to be. The pronoun often is implied in italian. But "sei" also means number six. "Solo" is alone as You correctly said. So in this case Sei solo means "Six pieces to be played alone". Enunciating your solitary condition, concerned to a musical situation, does not have a proper conformity (also because Bach would never say, directly to You, that You're alone!)

Luanda Pereira dropbox?

😇😂great, so nice comment!!!

This shows every major soloist needs to have a good mic (decent recording equipment) at home. Here it's almost unfair that Hadelich sounds so much better than everyone else.

Cringe

Zen Yoshida what lmao

Thank to you. Now I can't "un-think" the pyjama bottom part.

The technique showed in the videos were I believe a legato ricochet. The one I am discussing is the ricochet broken with the bow.

I wouldn't play that section with double stops

my favorite part of the whole piece so gorgeous
