Gandelsman's interpretation of this Chaconne is spectacular. One of the best I've heard, better than many more popular recordings. It has life and fire.
If I knew enough about dance I'd say something intelligent, but I can say I admire anyone who can choreograph something to the Chaconne, and who saw the possibilities, and probably loved the piece. I've been listening to it for over fifty years and even learned most on guitar as a poor amateur - Started with Narcisso Ypes' recording. It never gets old. Obviously, after dating myself, I should mention how much I admire the strength of the dancers - Must be nice to be young ... and talented, dedicated. Thanks for the video. It's inspiring.
Wonderful! And what courage Limon had, to converse this way with The Master. A power-filled interpretation by this excellent violinist of the famous Chaconne; the tones are very rich (and I'm on my laptop!)...Company dancing beautifully, nobly honoring the 2 Masters - in measured clarity, firmly speaking pure Limon .
This time I just listened to without watching and bravo, I really loved it! Will listen and watch it to see the ballet dancing as well. Your a really interesting violinist.
Love this! Though it is a pity that so much of the dancers' performance is cut out of the frame. But perhaps this was intentional? Is this performance available to purchase in a different format?
that's beautiful! but also... when filming a dance, please actually show the dancers' bodies! you can't actually SEE the dance for all the close-ups... *sigh*
Just imagine a choreographer creating a dance group with a technique that usually is off center while concentrating on breathing workouts in 1942. The kinetics is limited to the physic of the general body types of that era?
Chaconne is specific gender form of music which is feminine. For women..... And Passacaglia for men Both are the same, just the characters This Chaconne by J. S. Bach is an imagery of his wife Barbara Bach who was just passed away. Bach was in sorrow so he wrote this Chaconne to remembering memories with his first wife... (Beauty images of his wife + Sorrow = This Chaconne) This Chaconne should be danced by only one woman instead a group of mixed people.

What a gorgeous performance of the Chaconne by Johnny Gandelsman
Thanks for his name!

This should have more views...
Bless you all 🙏🏻
Fantastic, world-class violin performance!
There is simply a symbiosis to imagine between dance and this Chaconne from Bach: so much emotion to express in this music…
Up or down bow .... this is music that delights the angels ...
thank you for sharing this publicly

Fantastic! Great dance with music! This is the first I heard violinist played rhythmically!
Very good, I really enjoyed that
Pour ne pas oublier que les suites de Bach sont des danses. Merci !
thank you
Ah the infamous upbow on my chaconne. I tell people all the time, always down bow first.
Johann Sebastian Bach good one Master
Gorgeous, nothing but new ideas for all my new works. Love you all, glad for my own Limon/Hoving training
the musician moves the best
Beautiful. The chaconne is intended as dance music. Did anyone else notice that the d major section is gone? Loved it anyhow.
beautiful - congrats to all!
Bravi tutti.
Wow …

that baroque bow hold tho...
this would be a good choice of music for an olympic ice skate
Ahhh yes the infamous baroque bow hold using a modern bow
just watched a fast Bach piece danced and i thought it looked frantic. maybe only slow Bach should be danced to
that's beautiful! but also... when filming a dance, please actually show the dancers' bodies! you can't actually SEE the dance for all the close-ups... *sigh*
how about a real chaconne as danced in the period, this is modern dance
The dancing is a bit too genteel vs the music's profound emotional content, imho
