Johannes Brahms about Bach's Chaconne "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
Such a powerful performance in every way. The way he brings out all the voices is masterful, not to mention flawless intonation, amazing tone, phrasing , articulation... the list goes on.

Beautifully performed! I only wish the sound recording were clearer; some of the loud notes seem a bit distorted, at least on my system. But I'm glad I heard this; the playing is absolutely delightful!
If we have to go through the tough transition of the bereavement of first wife after partnering more than a dozen children with the experience of navigating through together when some of these did not survive (as was the case of child mortality rate at the time), I am sure we would want to play this with Zimmerman’s dedicated passion, longing and mixture of heroic marching or dragging our feet on in life despite the confusion of impossible emotions that J.S. Bach captured for us in this composition at the top of violinist ‘s repertoire!
Wow! Respect. I didn't know Zimmerman's interpretation of the Chaconne, but now that I do, I wonder if it isn't the one I prefer (among other great interpretations).
Vielen Dank fürs Hochladen! Diese Sendung habe ich vor über zehn Jahren im Fernsehn geschaut und auch auf VHS aufgezeichnet. Die Kassette ging leider verloren und ich habe dann lange nach dieser Aufnahme gesucht. Zimmermann beschreibt hinterher das Spielen der Chaconne mit dem Nachbau des Kölner-Dom. Für mich jedenfalls ist es die beste Chaconne Aufnahme. Nochmals Danke!

i generally don't want to listen peter frank zimmermann. his style and technique makes other virtuosos so pale, i literally cannot listen that work from another.
listen to kremer, then you hear the difference. he plays in correct rhythm. Normally I don´t like to compare one with another, but in this case, just to have an impression, how it should be played, watch it. And you will be astonished what kremer does with his approach to this masterpiece. Or of course Szeryng, who plays in the most serious way.
It should be played however the performer wants it to be played, Kremer's (yup, names start with capital letters) performance is incredible in it's own way and has it's lovable bits just as Zimmerman's
@@munkaaaa sorry, but you are completely wrong. a piece has to be played as the performer wants to play it ? not at all ! it has to be p,ayed like the composer wrote it . and zimmerman doesn´t do that. as simply as that . is the up- beat a 1/16 ? no! he doesn´t follow what is written. and this is disturbing !
@@munkaaaa wasting time to discuss with a person who is not able to see the point. and btw I left my anal phase behind me many years ago. maybe you better don´t write in shortcuts, if you want others to understand what you mean. It is not nitpicking at all. this is a 100 % difference which I am pointing to. Maybe the same difference of an IQ of 100 or only 50. LOL.
@@manfred4766 you're a bit quick to jump to conclusions based on 2 comments you read on youtube, but hey, if that's all you're capable of, knock yourself out little buddy, you won 1 internets
Accomplished, virtuosic, the apotheosis of the romantic conception of this masterpiece. But the violin is not an organ and I prefer interpretations that are less heroic.
This goes on like a bulldozer, to my taste there could be a bit more finesse perhaps. But of course this is a great performance, very strong and impressive. Sound quality is unfortunately horrible
I have no explanation, why he plays the theme in an other rhythm. Its not written like that. The upbeat is not a 16 th but a 8 th. Thats very disturbing !
It was standard performance practice to contract dotted rhythms like that in the baroque era. Listen to the overture of Handel’s Messiah played in the correct style as an example. That’s not how it is written on the page, but it is correct for the style to half the length of the attached note. How Zimmermann plays it here is absolutely correct for a modern interpretation with a modicum of baroque flair.
@@stickyrice1127 did you live at that time ? Did Zimmermann live at that time ? No, of course not. It is not correct to change the written text of the composer. Who do you think, you are ? And Zimmermann. I can not believe, that Krebbers was amused, when he heard this !
@@manfred4766 I see the concept of research is lost on you. Composers and players wrote treatises on these things, so do some reading and please don’t let that cavernous hole in your skull go unfilled.
@@stickyrice1127 okay, you seem to be one of the " historic informed " believers. But where do you get your knowledge ? This way to play is simply disgusting. And those who believe that this is the correct way to play are simply idiots. Backminded. You can of course live like they did 200 years ago. You can take a horse instead of a car. You can hunt animals with bow and arrow instead to go to a butcher. You can have sex with your partner only a few days in the month when you don´t use the anti - baby pill. and you can wash your clothes in a river instead of a washing maschine !
Listening again a year later and still I say too rough too tough!! No dynamic nuance no sensitivity just all technique which I greatly appreciate his talent but not everyone can grasp the depths of the greatest of all classical repertoire!!!
@@wendymyers3182 It's never the performer, but the listener, I, for one, can distinguish all the dynamics (and he's also got great range in my book) he's channeling through that violin. Off putting might be the perfection of his play though.
darren motise zimmermann is a world class violinist, i think that at his (and a lot of other great violinists’) level any argument bears no value as it’s all personal preference, just appreciate the music for christ’s sake

And maybe only Bach was able to compose a piece like this. A small instrument and the whole world inside... Brahms was a wise guy;)
I'm crying 😢😢😢😢
The best interpretation among violinists I have heard after Szeryng. Such a sincere and passionate playing with compassion.
Such a powerful performance in every way. The way he brings out all the voices is masterful, not to mention flawless intonation, amazing tone, phrasing , articulation... the list goes on.

The most beautiful rendition I have ever heard. It transports you and us to a higher spiritual level.
An absolute gem, offering every heartfelt emotion, so cleanly, powerfully, and reverently rendered here.
The way he phrases the arpeggios is so powerful...

Wie er bei der Arpeggio-Passage die MIttelstimmen hervorhebt, ist einfach unfassbar gut.
Divine! Thank you for sharing your beautiful rendition of the eternal Bach Chacone. You lift my spirit. Thank you!

His play leaves me spellbound .
I was impressed with the deticacy and ingenuity that I can not express every much in words .
BRAVO ZIMMERMANN, ASI SE TOCA.
Браво,Маэстро!
Bravo, Maestro !!!
Frank Peter Zimmermann è un bene dell' Umanità.

best violinist

Sublime!
So great !
I'd give an arm to be able to play like him!!
One-armed violin playing ain’t that easy 😕
der welt beste
.
unfaßbar!!!!
Great!
yo Frankenstein's got bars, my man
a tiny bit heavy but a masterful display of technique. maybe it's the recording quality.
I think it's the recording + the fact that it was recorded in a small, echoey room
You can tell with his technique that he uses heavy tone selectively.
Marcatissimo
You have ads in the middle. Adios. I can see them by the yellow markers. Ridiculous.

You need to learn more about Baroque style before you make such certain comments about the rhythm
Accomplished, virtuosic, the apotheosis of the romantic conception of this masterpiece. But the violin is not an organ and I prefer interpretations that are less heroic.
