This sings so much...Itzhak Perlman once said that Yehudi had off days and days when he was just his average self. But when Menuhin was at his best, no other could be compared to him, and he was one of the best violinists to have ever lived. I completely see why; this is among the most powerful interpretations of the Chaconne I've ever heard.
You really find his performance better than Heifetz's? It's not an opinion I have not seen online before, and it's obviously subjective, but everytime I am equally as surprised for some reason. Perhaps I've been spoiled.
@@bogdanbarbu363 In my opinion Hiefetz's is far too rushed. He doesn't take the time to let each note sing. I much prefer Hilary Hahn's to anyone else's. It's perhaps a bit slow at times, but every note is bright and clear, and the transitions between notes are just right.
There's this video of a Heifetz masterclass where he teaches the Chaconne and you can see where he's coming from with his interpretation. He tells the student that above all, the Chaconne is a dance and so it should be played with a very consistent tempo and a consistent rhythm. I love Heifetz but I really don't like his Chaconne. Yes, it's a dance but it's so much more. The length of the Chaconne makes it very clear, it stands out from the other dance movements Bach wrote. It's not just the length but also the emotional intensity that makes the Chaconne special. I don't know if the story about Bach writing it after learning of his wife's death is true or not but it's obviously a deeply emotional piece of music. I don't hear that in Heifetz' performance.
He came to Sydney in the 1960's and played all Bach unaccompanied for 2 hours - I sat in the 3rd front row and can still see him now - I have a young Russian friend Leonid Anikin - his performance of the chaconne is just as memorable
I've listened to so many different version but this one is and will always be the best! It's like God spoke through Yehudi! Hahn's, Suk's, Perlman's and other's version are amazing in different ways, but, according to me, this is the best and the inimitable! Wonderful!
@5:10 to 6:17 -- Wow that was unreal the way he brought it out. It was simpler, more straightforward, yet more powerful, more articulate and meaningful. Menuhin had an incredible musical mind...
I love nearly every violinist's version of the Chaccone but this is the one that breaks me. It was my husband's favorite and reminds me of him the most.
I know what you mean and when I play my copy even though it's Mono only I think it's better than the 1970's version as this was included in a deleted three LP Record set from the 1950's
I have listened to countless interpretation of bach chaconne. Menuhin's chaconne is in my opinion the most heartfelt chaconne of all. So much depth and so much colour in his playing..
Один из моих любимых исполнителей, и немногих, которые исполняют без видимой внешней эмоциональности, но которые всю свою внутреннюю красоту души вкладывают в музыку.
This is my favorite violin solo. I have heard a few different recordings of this passionate piece, but my favorite is this older Yehudi Menuhin recording, that I believe was done in 1956. I really like the way Menuhin interprets this solo.
As a violinist I have revisited the Chaconne many times and heard it played by all the great violinists extant since the 1950s. Despite all that there is one artist who continues to move me with the Chaconne like no other performer, and he is not a violinist. He is Adreas Segovia. I heard him in live recital in the 1960s and he played the Chaconne. Unlike so many prominent violinists trying to live up to their hard-won and deserved reputations and "impressing" with their "powerful" playing of the Chaconne, in his almost perfumed and wonderfully restrained perfomance of it Segovia opened my mind and heart to the virtue of humbly seeking the meaning of the work at a slower tempo than that usually taken by violinists, and not "big-dealing" anything about it. Segovia's performance of the Prelude in C Minor is another example of his truly revelatory approach to Bach which has taught me more than any teacher I have had---or indeed any past or present day great violinist---about how to most musically and satisfyingly perform Bach's unaccompanied violin works; and his 4 violin concertos too.
The reason for this is segovias blatant disregard for uptight following of the score or “ideas of how baroque music should be played” music is music and baroque Bach is romantic at that, it must be more uninhibited than what is accepted as the status quo. But thank you for your comment, I agree. The guitar is a very dynamic instrument, with more color than almost any other instrument, and control of timbre which can highlight different voices. It’s like a small symphony, and it is very capable of conveying the polyphony of the chaconne especially the arpeggios
People please! How can you appreciate Menuhin when you are all the time thinking of Heifetz, Perlman, etc etc? Each has his own way of playing. Try to make sense of what the person you are listening to is doing. You owe it to the artist. It's called respect.
Of course we respect Heifetz,Perlman,Ivry Gitlis etc but we love Menuhin.He is Everest.Unfortunately we don't know how Paganini played Bach or other composers etc.But in my opinion, nothing equals Menuhin.His played is stellar.
@@asmith8815 I made that comment 7 years ago and have forgotten the context. I must have been replying to someone who was comparing Menuhin unfairly to Heifetz. So there's nothing wrong with liking Menuhin. He was a great player. I think you perhaps misinterpreted what I was saying, which is that if you are always comparing the violinist you're hearing to somebody else whose playing you love, you can't appreciate the one you're hearing. And yes I would say that if someone thinks Heifetz is the greatest, therefore doesn't like Milstein, that person isn't really picking up on what Milstein might be doing that is just as great as Heifetz, only different. So I think we can agree on that.
This is the best version of the most beautiful piece that man has ever written! I think Menuhin was and still today is the best violinist in the world! Every time I listen to this, specially in the arpeggios, I feel shivers! For me such a beautiful thing, like this, is the proof of the existence of God ❤️
Beatrice Virga you could have ended your comment at "I feel shivers" and left it at that , but no you had to bring religion into it . Thanks for ruining my listening experience !
@@authenticbaguette6673 I've just written what I, as Beatrice, feel. I have forced no-one to believe in something and I'll never do something like that. Everyone puts in music what he feels, which means that it's normal that you feel something different. I think you should reflect just a little more because it's very serious if an opinion of somebody else can ruin your listening. Anyways I haven't talked about religion, but about God: you can call "God" whatever you want. You cannot blame someone or get mad if other people feel other emotions!
Beatrice Virga you expressed your opinion , and I expressed my opinion about your opinion . Do you see anything wrong in the fact that I don't like your opinion ? Freedom of speech goes *both* ways , you know ..
Beatrice Virga your "god" strikes a nerve with me as being a product of messed-up power structures that date back to the ancient world , and as a deranged manifestation of one dimensional and reductive concepts like justice and order and decency .. which do nothing to serve the human mind or bring good into this world Your god is violent , your god hates us , your god has blood on his hands , your god is racist , and your god is dead and dying because he is nothing more than the concept of exploitation and oppression Yes , it's personal .
For this specific piece, personally I think, Hilary Hahn acts it out as an ancient Greek tragedy, Perlman is grieving alone and recalling the past, while Yehudi seems like eagerly seeking a revenge for the death of his wife, in the position of Bach.
My personal favorite performance of the Bach Sonatas and Partitas, especially the Chaconne, has always been one by Szeryng. And, after seeing a couple of sloppy performances of other works by Menuhin I did not want to ruin my love of this piece by watching a sloppy performance by anyone. Man was I wrong about this! I think Menuhin, the virtuoso, captured the full essence of the grieving Bach must have felt as he wrote this impossibly beautiful work. I'm not so sure Bach wrote the work to honor his wife but rather to grieve. There is a book about the various stages of grief written a few years ago that fits this work perfectly. The stages include shock, disbelief, anger and acceptance. It's all there in Bach's Chaconne.
I agree with all this, but I would add that it seems to me that Bach was also able to include a few passages of joy at remembering good times. The true greatness of Bach lies in the range of emotions he expressed, often at the same time!
@@stephenlee1756 : Yes, thank you and good point. I do recall noticing a few passages of joy as you mention. That makes the Chaconne even more complex and special in my view.

he WAS dashingly handsome when a young man (i say this as a straight man) he was also an incredibly kind and generous giving soul. he was, goes without saying, one the best violinists of the 20th century. great great rendtion of bach's masterpiece here
Можно до хрипоты спорить о трактовках...когда ты всё это время, будто в отцепенении от этого шедевра...а потом на последнем аккорде вдруг очнёшься - и слёзы в глазах...вот показатель гения автора. А причём здесь исполнитель? - хоть кто...это скорее проводники и посредники и лишь Бог помогает им идти к этим музыкальным высотам - потому не надо плодить идолов...время всех по местам расставит.
The opening (first 30 sec) of this is the greatest, he plays those arpeggios with such power and emotion it’s incredible. As a whole I prefer Milsteins version(s), but I keep coming back to this as well.
There are many great interpretations of this piece, but I personally feel more connected to Menuhin's interpretation. He place the piece at tempo, but he utilizes rubato very strategically and clearly uses dynamics fully. When he starts crossing strings for instance, starting at around 4:48. He played fast but it was very articulate. I also feel that he really grew that part with the crescendo he started doing as he ascended passed 5th position. Itzak plays it rather well too, but his playing isn't quite as smooth and articulate. Regardless, he still shows great vibrato throughout, as well as tonal depth into the second half of the piece. Isaac Stern and Heifetz both play it a bit faster but they still have a lot of focus on articulation and clear tone/dynamics. Overall, they all bring their own to Chaconne, but in my personal view, Menuhin is much more commanding in his playing and he expresses exactly what he wants to.
I believe that one of few violinists that can get into the depths of my heart that certainly is Menuhin. His playing is immaculate, perfect, wholesome, and yet, he plays quite differently from what other great masters can express about the same piece
Si vous trouvez un enregistrement de la Chaconne BWV1004 par Pavel Kudelásek, sautez dessus : je l'ai écouté à St Nicolas de Mala Strana, à Prague, il est aussi fabuleux que Sayaka Shoji. Sir Yehudi Menuhin est merveilleux lui aussi mais ses enregistrements datent un peu maintenant, même remastérisés.
While I prefer Milstein's version (even from his last recital at age 82), there is a magisterial quality to Lord Menuhin's rendition, especially beginning at 9.05, that is spellbinding.
Es ist wunderbar Es ist technisch großartig, aber ich finde den Sound sehr schön ... Ich habe eine CD, aber ich denke, es ist eine Leistung eines Lehrers und ich höre es mir an ...
Yehudi is an awesome violinist. I think that Mailstein's interpretation approaches more to what this piece should be played though. It's a bit slower, which let's the piece be fluent at all times, especially on the second part. Invite you all to listen to both and understand what I'm talking about. :D
I know both interpretations. Both are fabulous, but for me Menuhins sound is like a phone line to my heart. He was a genius. For me both Menuhins and Milstein play Bach in a right way, every artist can learn a lot of these incredible musicians.
This sings so much...Itzhak Perlman once said that Yehudi had off days and days when he was just his average self.

You and me both brother!
especially the part at 12:51
If I had to choose one of the best music tunes of all humankind, I would choose Chaconne without hesitation.

This is quite fitting. Bach wrote the Chaconne after returning from a trip to discover his wife had died.
best Chaconne ever, no one alive today can play it like that.
лучшее исполнение! Никто по сей день не превзошёл!!
I have listened to countless interpretation of bach chaconne. Menuhin's chaconne is in my opinion the most heartfelt chaconne of all. So much depth and so much colour in his playing..

Unmatched musical depth.
This is brilliant, both powerful and sensitive . I hear this piece in my head , I love so much.
Cheers and Vivat for the Maesto sir Y. Menuhin !
incredible power. The middle arpeggiated section is so brilliantly played -- an absolute wall of sound.
Tom Boyer please don’t mention walls.
What a heart Yehudi Menuhin had!
Loved visiting Yehudi Menuhin school .. was such an inspiring and exciting experience!
Essayer d'être à la hauteur de l'amour porté par cet homme formidable.
Wow...got goosebumps at the end...immersive all throughout...left me totally empty...
one of the greatest achievements of any man in history? bach's chaconne has no equal.
BRAVO .
Magistral Ejecucion del EXCEPCIONAL VIOLINISTA JEHUDI MENUHIN .

The ultimate prodigy. Touched by God.
No words !! Amazing!!
Excellent
Yehudi was George Enescu pupil, he learn from the greatest romanian violin teacher
which Enescu, the one that couldn't play it? the irony :)))
Menuhin and Stern on Chaconne both sounds great and beautiful!
Astonishing!
Fantastic playing!!!

***** yeah as a Christian, this scene in the Bible has a special meaning to me. I hope i can be as privileged as you someday :)
Dallas Shuey yeh
Hi there just wanted to
Después que Yehudi Menuhin murió nunca más nadie fue capaz de sacar esos sonidos de un violín.
Muito boa, esta musica.
Le meilleur !!
Chaconne is the 5th movement of the Violin Partita No. 2 in D Minor, BWV 1004
Beautiful music. Best violin piece I played except for Tchaikovsky's music. Thanks.
I believe that one of few violinists that can get into the depths of my heart that certainly is Menuhin. His playing is immaculate, perfect, wholesome, and yet, he plays quite differently from what other great masters can express about the same piece

Shabat Schalom.
for me it is a toss up between this and heifetz most recent performance…….the piece is just beautiful
tb to assim....
My favorite Chaconnes: Heifetz, Hahn, Milstein, Perelman; transcriptions: Kissin, Grimaud
And such a handsome man when he was young!
Do his children play as well?
Maybe i am used to slower versions but the fast tempo grinds my gears ;P
De sokat hallgattam,gimnazista voltam

While I prefer Milstein's version (even from his last recital at age 82), there is a magisterial quality to Lord Menuhin's rendition, especially beginning at 9.05, that is spellbinding.
Music is suppose to be spontaneous not predictable. Menuhin is absolutely superb in this regard. The others are predictable.

possibly even better than his 1935 version
Uto Ughi, is almost the same.
Yehudi is an awesome violinist. I think that Mailstein's interpretation approaches more to what this piece should be played though. It's a bit slower, which let's the piece be fluent at all times, especially on the second part.
Invite you all to listen to both and understand what I'm talking about. :D
Who the heck is Mailstein? Do you mean Milstein? I clearly prefer Menuhin to ALL other violinists! :P
I know both interpretations. Both are fabulous, but for me Menuhins sound is like a phone line to my heart. He was a genius. For me both Menuhins and Milstein play Bach in a right way, every artist can learn a lot of these incredible musicians.
