"On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." - Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne
Julio Klastornick of course as u can see,,I'm a woman but most woman also play it like funeral music! now I'm aware that Back composed the Chaccone due to the passing of his beloved wife..but most women don't get it...it must be played with a man's heart. A man's grief, but also a man's hope of healing and getting through his grief!! Am I making sense?? Good day All,,and GOD BLESS!
Wendy Myers I didn't say, when I first saw your comment, but your observstion is striking, different and true. Although some do question the personal and intimate quality, given the constraints in music at Bach's time, it surely IS a profoundly human work. And I am struck by how you, as a woman, so clearly make that discrimination. Thanks.
I really admire Mr. Perlman and his exquisite way of play...it is such as touching heaven feeling. It was an honor sea this man ay the Avery Fisher Hall, he is muy favorite violinist ever. Thanks.
The music of J. S. Bach is, in my view, one of the treasures of civilization-proof, should it be needed, that the human experiment has been worth it after all. The majesty of the Sonatas and Partitas has been offered up by generations of profoundly gifted virtuosi. Bur Perlman's playing here strikes this listener as transcendent, full of a kind of passion and rich masculine elegance-a sonic aurora borealis. This is playing to make you rejoice to have ears. We are in double debt: to Bach for these sublime architectures, and to Perlman for a lifetime of dedication to a craft that lifts Bach and us up off the page-up where we belong.
Having seen him in 2013..his interpretations of the finest details of the pieces he plays defines him as one of the greatest of all time..see him while he is here!..A true Maestro of All Time..a privilege to hear him!
JS was hundreds of miles from home. Uncontactable, he came home to be told his wife had died two weeks earlier, was in the earth already, cold & decomposing. JS went away, in grief, & wrote this munumental work. Out of Love & grief. Awesome
None of us would want such suffering as was commonplace in Bach's time but who of us in this pampered (Western) world in which we live now could express grief and sorrow, as well as joy and jubilation as he did.
Itzhak perlman is truly, A person from The pinnacle of music, And fortunately, Still lives to continue teaching violin to other students. I have heared many of his performances throughout my experience of playing the Violin. Truly amazing.
There are countless intepretations of the chaconne, all of them vastly different in their emotional color and intention. With so many great artists attemting this beast of a piece, and on so many insturments, I really find it impossible to decide which is my favorite. But the massive emotional quake I experience l every time Perelman reaches the great peek shortly after 6:27, is completely unparalleled by anything else musical I've ever heard. At best, I can only hope to vaguely allude to it with my interpretation and playing of the piece. Perlman is an incredible artist! And Bach is a legendary one.
Itzhak Perlman has the most amazing ability to make it sound like 1-2-3-4- violins are playing each voice independently..Absolutely a Master and best version ever.
The Chaconne is the most perfect musical thing ever created. The first day I heard Bach I began to become aware of transcendential mysteries, and was in the presence of the eternity of Bach. I thank all matter, and spacetime for the random creation, the seeming miracle which is Bach!
Today I discovered Chaconne. Speechless, breathless stunned. Without being over dramatic I cannot sum up all that is within me as I listen to this piece. Tears of joy, sadness...tears nevertheless!!
I don't know how he maintains such perfect intonation playing so many chords on the violin. It is absolutely flawless, note after note, chord after chord. It is not an easy task. Amazing.
As one who too has mastered this mighty work, I can tell you how: it is such a privelege to be allowed to attempt it, one cannot POSSIBLY betray the mighty composer by introducing the slightest error. I believe Bach once wrote "I did not write this music: I only held the pen." I can tell you, on a concert platform, with an audience listening in silent wonderment, it is not I who am playing: I'm merely allowed to hold the instrument. In 1958, as a young student, Beverly Nicholls wrote in the May edition of "Woman" magazine: "Bach spoke with the voice of God: Keith Ramsell is his young disciple." I expected to be mocked next day by my fellow-students - not a bit! We all felt exactly the same way.
i've heard him live 3 times. a grand master violinist. who is best? haha only the fool knows. perlman and el soil are pure light and beauty. and a thing of beauty is a joy forever.
I've listened to dozens of different violin recordings, one (Kremer) many times over. I agree that this is music that needs to be played by a soul that has been seared by grief a few times. This is one of the best.
How? Just HOW??? Genuine genius, if this was e last performance of a piece, any piece that I ever heard, then I would die a satisfiedmusician with the most wonderful“earworm” . HoweverI have no intention of going just yet.
Perlman is the tone king. Others bring other things to the table, Vengerov imagination, dynamic control and a cohesive interpretation. Hahn control and phrasing ... the list goes on. But good grief, Perlman’s tone is vast. VAST. The bow control is obvious but that left hand is a vice. As clear an example that I know of why *some* tension is good and indeed needed!
I wish I had meaty mitts like Perlman. Everyone's told me my whole life that my long skinny fingers were perfect for the violin, but I feel Perlman has the true advantage with his long AND meaty fingers. Better/easier tension on the string I feel.
At the beginning when I fisrt hear this song I didn't like it. But after a while, I couldn't stop hearing it. And then when I found out Perlman's version, I'm gonna say to y'all: there's no other piece for violin solo such perfect as it is. Chaconne by Bach definitely came from heaven inspiration and that's why it's so wonderful. And Perlman's interpretation is just how I wondered: calm and soft, wild and strong when it needs to be. The combination of these two results in heavenly sounds to our ears.
Entre os grandes gênios da música ele se mostrou ,em nossa época temos o previlegio de contemplar seus feitos,como instrumentista está no mais alto nível de técnica , interpretação , dinâmica e expressão,agora tocar chaconne e complicado e seus períodos e combinações de som exigem muito do solista ,mas o itzhak Perlman tocando em todas as suas performance e realmente incrível,as notas desfilam e conversam entre si simultâneamente trazendo um colorido e doce som, admiro muitos artistas na música ,mas itzhak Perlman e incomparável 😊
Я думаю что исполнитель вложил в исполнение. Чаконы все свое мастерство и философское понимание творчества. И. С. Баха. Это несомненно одно из лучших исполнений. Чаконы.
If i have to choose my favourite version of chaconne it will be the one played by Perlman. Although all my respects to Heifetz, Hahn, Stern and others...
We share the same tastes in violinists. However, as far as I am concerned Heifetz owns this piece. Everyone else sounds mechanical in comparison. And it plays it at a speed that none living or dead could match.
I've heard so many different version of the same piece. Everytime I have shivers. This is amazing. Everytime I hear a different way how musicians feel this piece. And that's the beautiful thing of music. Although my favourite one is Yehudi Menuhin's, this is such a great performance! Amazing!
За свою жизнь я слышала много раз исполнения чаконы,но мне лично очень близко исполнение И. Перельманом.это действительно обращение к Б-ну, спокойно,убедительно, рассказываешь Асю свою нелегкую жизнь ,не резко ,без крика и молишь Его о своих детях и внуках...Благодарю🙏😢👏
Is that a violin or a church organ?? Just astonishingly perfect intonation. To archive this pristine, cristal-clear, uniform sound at a slightly slower-than-usual tempo isn't easy. It really sounds like played by an "infinite bow".
This is far and beyond my favourite piece of music ever written, though I'm not dogmatic about the interpretation. I find that the piece itself contains so much depth that it can withstand a variety of interpretations. In fact, it almost requires multiple interpretations for you to begin to recognize how much is contained within it. It is, I think, the closest thing to perfection the human race has managed to capture.
Satges of musical developmet 1 embezzelment 2 tecnical perfection, 3 mastery 4 the mystical expereincie when the musicial ceases to exist although still alivebut lost in the eternal flow of music
It looks as if he is able to stretch every note a little bit. Thats why this chaconne feels so romantic. Certainly not the meaning of Bach, but a beautifull interpretation.
A great rendition. My favorite has been the one by Isaac Stern, followed by Hilary Hahn, but this Perlman performance might become my new favorite. There are so many great performances of this incredible piece. Is it just me, but the transition at 7:55 almost brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it.
This was recorded when Perlman was in his prime, 1986/87, the pictures in this clip showing a much older Perlman. I have listened to many, many recordings of the Chaconne, and they are all very different: Perlman, Maxim Vengerov, Kristof Barati (one of the most talented violinists to emerge in the last few years), Ray Chen, Heifetz, Julia Fisher (very soft version), Natan Milstein (1954/56), Hilary Hahn (very nice recording if you prefere a slightly softer version), David Garrett (yes, he did record this when he was very young), Joshua Bell, Zino Francescetti (aprox 1950), Henryk Szeryng (year?), Janine Jansen, Viktoria Mullova (don't like her interpretation), Yehudi Menuhin (live at Carnegie Hall 1940, perhaps not so good in that recording) and George Enesco (1940). Personal taste, but I really like the Perlman and the Heifetz recordings, the Kristof Barati version and Hilary Hahn version are also nice. Again personal taste.
I'm still learning how to listen to Bach and this is definitely slower than I "hear" it. Normally I lose some sense of the harmony if a piece is slowed down. But this interpretation seems to enhance it, somehow.
Back solo instrument pieces are tricky. It is like you first get a summary of the different voices, then the melody, and you're supposed to keep the previous voices in your head to hear the whole symphony!
This is the most beautiful version of this piece. But I heard this piece mostly from Perlman. I wonder if it's frustrating for those who have heard the other versions first which are usually faster and a bit less mellow
So beautiful and strong. "Chaconne" is also the title of a novel which tales the life of Chaconne, dancer in her own light between earth and heaven, dancing, always dancing from Bohemia to Andalucia. A translation from the music itself turned into litterature. Publisher: éditions Parole, France
La ciaccona è pura armonia matematica l'ascolto e par di vedere equazioni che si svolgono nell'aria . Il sentimento non è compreso in queste vibrazioni armoniche , una interpretazione "romantica" snaturerebbe il capolavoro di Bach. Mi inchino di fronte al genio scusandomi per il misero commento di un modesto ed incantato ascoltatore
First time I've heard version I enjoy as much as Hilary Hahn's. I understand everyone has different tastes; I personally think some of the other artists I've heard take a little too much liberty in the timing of the first minute, especially. That being said, I wish I could play half as well as any of them... but I really feel the piece most when the timing makes sense to me, which for me has to be closer to technically perfect with a just a little edge of prolonged grief. I think the way Bach wrote it, when played technically, speaks grief in itself; if you mess too much with the timing of those entry dissonant cords, it just sounds... forced, to me.
バイオリン１本で表現しているとは思えない奥行きと広がり、弦の響きの絡み合いはまさにバッハそのものの世界です。
人々の苦悩のはざまをこれほどまでに見事に表していることに驚愕します。
聖書を読み進むような荘厳な世界の広がりの旋律は畏敬の念をもって膝まづく魂の嗚咽も見えない音符として組み入られていることを感じます。

So much depth in Chaconne played by Perlman. He can make the violin cry.
...and make the listener cry from the beauty of Bach!
His is the best interpretation I've found. Others just dont feel the heart of the piece.

My heart feels suspended whenever I hear this. Perlmans interpretation feels like how this piece was meant to sound
i always hear the lament for the loss of someone close in this piece. it helps, thank you.
The best execution, the depth, the suspense, the boldness of the opening unsurpassed!
JS was hundreds of miles from home. Uncontactable, he came home to be told his wife had died two weeks earlier, was in the earth already, cold & decomposing. JS went away, in grief, & wrote this munumental work. Out of Love & grief. Awesome

Extremely rare perfection. By Bach of course, but also by Perlman.
Perlman’s version of the chaconne has the advantage of the important perspective of age.

Cleaner than Heifetz's interpretation albeit slower, but captures bach's essence. Bravo

First time I've heard version I enjoy as much as Hilary Hahn's. I understand everyone has different tastes; I personally think some of the other artists I've heard take a little too much liberty in the timing of the first minute, especially.
That being said, I wish I could play half as well as any of them... but I really feel the piece most when the timing makes sense to me, which for me has to be closer to technically perfect with a just a little edge of prolonged grief. I think the way Bach wrote it, when played technically, speaks grief in itself; if you mess too much with the timing of those entry dissonant cords, it just sounds... forced, to me.
What violin does he play? Sounds magnificient.
