yes, Chaconne is by far the greatest piece of art , all arts and civilizations included. All artists are artists, all composers are composers, but Bach is a monster.
Its hard reminding Bach without an organ pipe, thats why he was and always be " the big organ pipe Virtuous", he was not just a composer, but he was a great pipe organ builder and player, he used to travel a lot to build them and was a name at his time by being requested to inaugurate and certify them
It seems that when he wrote a song, he always think for every instruments...listen to the theorbe version...guitare version, cimballo...i think that even with a kazoo it could be wonderfull°°°👌😁
This is the most beautiful version that I’ve ever heard so far! I’m learning this in the violin, but after watching this, I want to play this in pipe organ instead lol
.. only the 2nd organ transcription of J.S. Bach's D minor Chaconne I've ever heard. Absolutely closer to the score one knows imo! I'm curious about the source from which it's written - Violin Partita or Bach/Busoni .. I suspect the former as the balance keeps closer (again an opinion) to violin with bass and harmonic addition. Transcriptions are like modern-day bands re-doing classic pop/rock tunes of this generation. Brilliantly played, Bravo!
When one blows into a single organ pipe one would not think that it is possible to build an instrument so powerful like an organ with such a thing. Who was the genius to find that out?
I cant believe that I never heard an organ trasncription of this. I have all the orchestrations and piano versions. This recording is fascinating and stunning. The playing is great. I always thought this was concieved of with an organ somehow. By the way, there are several recordings with a baroque bow. In one the chords are not broken, the bow plays accross all the strings for chords and the effect of the dense chords reminds one of an organ sound produced by the violin....... I have never found that on cd. It was released by David Randolf many years ago....... the other attempts by original instruments etc dont come off like randolf....he wanted an organ sound for the chords.
Jens Korndoerfer не знал, что Вы понимаете по-русски (либо гугл-переводчик помог). Скажите, Вы не могли бы поделиться нотками этого произведения, чакона в транскрипции Анри Мессерера. Я ну Нигде не могу их найти, а мне очень хочется сыграть это произведение. Я был бы очень благодарен!
Я могу немного почитать по-русски - но я использую google translate :) Счет был опубликован, вот ссылка: www.editions-delatour.com/en/organ-e-score/3519-chaconne-for-violin-adapted-for-great-organ-e-score-pdf-9790232146553.html
Sorry this is nearly a year on, and quite random, I just wanted to point out that while one can find examples of both minor & Picardy major conclusions in various arrangements and transcriptions of this piece, it's not at all conclusive in Bach's manuscript--that is, he ends on just a D, no third for context. I'm personally partial to the ambiguity of the sole D, or the open fifth of D and A. To me, the minor third sounds like a fussy, brutally pragmatic way to finish, and the major third just sounds like a wrong note!
You know, me and some friends, or is it some friends and I, were discussing this very topic at the pub recently. The discussion moved back and forth, there was a frank exchange of views. Unfortunately, the argument became heated and fists started flying, the fighting spilling out onto the street and the police were eventually called to sort out what had become a riot. It was very disturbing. I mean this from the heart of my bottom.
+MrChocolate7777: Thanks a lot, I am delighted to hear that you enjoy listening to my performance. I have added the pieces you suggested to my 'todo' list :)
I learned it with a final cord in D Major, but I love it more ending in minor like here. Kissin also ends it in minor. What is actually the correct ending?
I definitely agree, however I keep wondering why Bach, who was himself a virtuoso organist, chose to write the piece for the violin ? In particular he must have known that it is extremely hard to play on this instrument, while possibly "easier" on the organ ("easier" is not the right word here, I guess it should be "less incredibly difficult").
@@DeusVivus Bach wrote the Chaconne during his stay as a court musician in Anhalt-Koethen (1717-1723) after his return from a musical tournee in Karlsbad. During his absence his dearly beloved wife Maria Barbara had passed away. So the Chaconne is to be considered a mourning music for his deceased spouse. As he was lacking an adequate organ in Koethen - the Earl had no interest in organ music but in chamber music - Bach entrusted his innermost grief to the violin.
Superb! This had to be part of the Jury members' concerts; you are far too good to be a contestant, as your performances on the Dom Bedos organ attest.
Very nice, I suppose. But, at 10:30, he adds countermelodies, which is OK, but which change Bach's harmonies to some really purple ones AND he changes the last bar, which should be a unison D to a D minor chord. No good. Transcribe, sure. I've heard this work played on at least 15 different instruments or combinations of them. But, don't screw around with the actual music. What Bach did is good enough.
I agree with your point on the countermelodies, it becomes to far removed, stylistically, from Bach at this point. This is a fascinating transcription, but I think the organ transcription by Sandman (made around the same time) is superior.
Now, it is no longer a piece for violin. Bach himself was a good violin player. Perhaps he composed the solo violin pieces for himself. For his organ playing he had enough other (original) organ pieces.
I have my doubts whether Bach actually cared about the concept of an "original" organ piece: otherwise, why would he have arranged the Trio Sonatas, the Schübler Chorals, and the Concerti for the organ?
The greatest piece of music ever written...
I agree Jan well said.
That, and Passcaglia...
Bollocks.
...and the Goldberg Variations. Bach's top three masterpieces, in my opinion (Chaconne, Passacaglia, Goldbergs).
yes, Chaconne is by far the greatest piece of art , all arts and civilizations included.
All artists are artists, all composers are composers, but Bach is a monster.
Its hard reminding Bach without an organ pipe, thats why he was and always be " the big organ pipe Virtuous", he was not just a composer, but he was a great pipe organ builder and player, he used to travel a lot to build them and was a name at his time by being requested to inaugurate and certify them
Its amazing how Bach was able to make the violin sound like an organ when this piece is played.
Inspiring rendition of this wonderful work for solo violin transcribed for the organ. Outstanding work Jens!
Thanks so much, Dorothy! It's such an inspiring work, so much fun to play on the organ, it works really well.
What an eargasm!!! Really delightful!
Thanks, Rosa!
FANTASTIQUE
It seems that when he wrote for other instruments, Bach has always had the organ in mind.
YES! Like the Goldberg Variations. I have a recording on organ and it's my favorite interpretation. It's also on TH-cam.
Elena Barshai. Not a household name, but should be.
Curatica C well Bach loved the Organ so it’s not surprising
It seems that when he wrote a song, he always think for every instruments...listen to the theorbe version...guitare version, cimballo...i think that even with a kazoo it could be wonderfull°°°👌😁
Nah, I think this piece is just too good that done properly it'll sound good on any instruments.
This is the most beautiful version that I’ve ever heard so far! I’m learning this in the violin, but after watching this, I want to play this in pipe organ instead lol
Complimenti🎉
Avessi, le tue mani!
Bravoooooooooooooooooo👏
Thank you.
Amazingly beautiful.
So beautifully played!
Thanks, Sam!
Grande BACH
Complimenti👏
La mia preferita❤
Che meraviglia
Sublime.
Qu'il me tarde d'en finir avec ce confinement pour pouvoir aller écouter l'orgue de Notre Dame....
Oui!!
Lovely!
Thank you for the upload of this great arrangement !
Thanks, Rainer!
Nice recording! I also always like those old crappy CRT monitors on top of organ consoles :D
Soul-touching. Herein, the purpose of music finds its fulfillment. What more could there be to say? Oh, yes: Thank you!
Magnificent!
Would love to hear a remake with same organ as the sound here is distorted at some points.
Thanks for the upload!
Бессмертная вещь!
Исполнено на все 100.
Тяжелейший труд, но оно того стоило!
Снимаю шляпу!
большое спасибо
Fabulous playing on a superb Casavant. Your hands in action remind me of the classic photos of Wanda Landowska in action!
Thanks, Colin!
Un immenso grazie a Bach e,
a Feruccio Busoni per la sapiente
trascrizione!
Complimenti all’organista👏
Busoni piano? Transcrizione per Henri Messerer?
So powerful, the Absolute consome you and absorbing completely
In memory of Maria Barbara Bach .... J.S. Bach's "tombeau" for his second wife upon her death. The most magnificent sound in the History of Music !
His first wife, not second. Second was Anna Magdalena!
Thank you for this video. This piece of music is wonderful, but your play on organ is so awesome as well.
that'S the best thing i ever heard
Thanks, CYPRN, glad you like it!
What a magnificent rendition. Well done sir.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Bardzo ładne wykonanie, czysty dźwięk. Muzyka J.S. Bacha jest piękna. Made in Poland.
yeah ! what a brilliant job
Love this!
Fine performance! It was my good fortune that my first mentor in voicing was the head Casavant voicer for the 1991 restoration of the Basilique organ.
Thanks. I'm sure your teacher had to share many great stories from his work on this organ...
Music enjoyment
BRAVO!! Tolle Orgelfassung! NB: Miklos Arpas Brahms auf yout.
Vielen Dank!
wow that ending of the first part really left me all destroyed like it's so powerful on an organ asushfd

с 12 минуты с ума сойти можно...
Monstrueux. Divin.
Le summum de la civilisation planètaire.

Хочется рукоплескать и кричать "браво!" :)

Jens Korndoerfer что ж, большое спасибо! :)
Whoa, I MUCH prefer this on the pipe organ to the violin! (or piano transcription) Beautiful.
Thanks :)
Like a Gothic cathedral!
Interesting that in his arrangement Messerer decided to end the piece in the D minor chord instead of the traditional Picardy third.
Sorry this is nearly a year on, and quite random, I just wanted to point out that while one can find examples of both minor & Picardy major conclusions in various arrangements and transcriptions of this piece, it's not at all conclusive in Bach's manuscript--that is, he ends on just a D, no third for context.

@irbennett: been there, mate, know exactly what you mean...
Because Bach would've been a keyboard player from heart.
great!! I'd like to hear more...... could you play the sonata no. 2 andante in the 3 violin solo sonata and partita 😇😇😇
+MrChocolate7777: Thanks a lot, I am delighted to hear that you enjoy listening to my performance. I have added the pieces you suggested to my 'todo' list :)
супер )
Благодаря!
Very nice arrangement and interpretation. A bit surprise by the lack of reverb of Basilique Notre Dame though... The organ sounds very dry.
Thanks. Yes, the acoustic is rather dry, unfortunately - still a terrific space & instrument!
I learned it with a final cord in D Major, but I love it more ending in minor like here. Kissin also ends it in minor.
What is actually the correct ending?
This is majestuous, however I feel like some of the melancholia of the violin is lost in organ renditions.
Thanks - the transcription definitely changes the character of the piece, but what it may loose in melancholia, it gains in grandeur...
I definitely agree, however I keep wondering why Bach, who was himself a virtuoso organist, chose to write the piece for the violin ?

Endnu et smukt stykke orgelmusik af Bach.......
this piece sounds the best on pipe organ because all classical music sounds better on pipe organ
Superb! This had to be part of the Jury members' concerts; you are far too good to be a contestant, as your performances on the Dom Bedos organ attest.
Wich instrument this opus was wrote for?
violin

Only use string stops. lol Seriously though, this is excellent.
14:15 :(((((((((((
Played with aggregation and verve!
Beautiful!
Thanks, Sam!
日本人がいない……😭
大丈夫、中国人がそばにいる💪❤️
悲観するな！多くの日本人も聞いている。良いものには人種をまたいで理解される。

Both violin and guitar versions sound like a toy compared to this
Javier Santana “Sound” on the violin it is very uncomfortable idk about the guitar version
@@IC40R Violin version is very
bright, on the guitar it's darker but fuller at the same time.
Idk I mis-typed the “sound” bit
