J.S.Bach Chaconne BWV1004 Gustav Leonhardt

[putaindepseudospris]

This is by far the most impressive harpsichord work I've ever heard. Thanks both to Bach's and Leonhardt's talent.

Many thanks for this rare piece ...

[flute1982]

bravo!

Ho riascoltato varie volte la Ciaccona di Bach al cembalo eseguita da Leonhart, devo dire che non mi dispiace, conoscendo già la versione originale per il violino: l'ascolto mi risulta  gradevole anche nei passi virtuosistici.

[camitful]

Si è prodotto in concerti organistici in modo limitato (scegliendo brani dal repertorio clavicembalistico e trasferendogli all'organo, salvo qualche brano da Bach o Buxtehude con obbligo del pedale). Del resto il clavicembalista durante lo studio esegue qualche brano all'organo con lo studio dell' "organo complementare", non gli viene chiesto altro. 

[camitful]

Ha snobbato l'impegno che richiede la pedaliera dell'organo per dedicarsi alla direzione e all'esecuzione della musica barocca della tasitera del clavicembalo; non mi risulta che abbia mai suonato una musica  romantica all'organo o moderna ancorchè al clavicembalo; NON DENIGRO LEONHART; inquadro meglio il ruolo che ha ricoperto nella sua vita artistica attiva.

I will miss this wonderful musician.

Isn't there a second part? Originally it wouldn't finish here, would it?

[Stehnz]

@olivleonardo yes it would

[NoiseWithRules]

@olivleonardo

Yes, it did finish here! There were some dances leading up to this, but the man wanted to finish off with a show-stopper.

BTW, I've heard versions of this from full orchestra, chorus & organ down to just handbells. Favourite - John Williams guitar - shame about the squeaks!

@baroque6hiro Hello. This sounds like Jacques Drillon's transcription for harpsichord of Bach's Chaconne. Is that really played by Gustav Leonhardt or ? Because as far as I know, he never played it in concert or recorded it... If I'm wrong, I'm interested in the reference for the recording/concert ! Thx a lot !

[baroque6hiro]

@MisesEnForce This trsnscription by Leonhardt .Off cource,this sound is by Leonhardt.

Maybe, LP was selled in the world.But I think CD was selled JAPAN only in 1995.This CD is BWV1002,1004,1006.CD no.:YMCD-1023 . DHM recording in1975.

[MisesEnForce]

@baroque6hiro Thx a lot ! I wasn't aware of that recording -> I've ordered it right now from amazon !

[pytissier]

@MisesEnForce I heard him more than 15 years ago, playing this chaconne. It was in Paris, Salle Gaveau. He played all the suite for violin. I can not remember if this was the same transcription but this one is very beautiful and, as usual, very credible.

thanks maestro!

[paradoxicus]

Si.¡Dios le bendiga.!

Su integral de las cantatas de Bach,junto a Harnoncourt,es la cima fonográfica de todos los tiempos.

Si R.I.P. querido Gustav.

[Megarosmerta]

Un instrumentista excepcional que dedicó su vida a la música barroca. RIP querido Gustav.

@Vagaus82 Yes, I tried to detach the link of this recording but it failed. I will send a message to you.

[Vagaus82]

Is this a version from his own?

[askim925]

@Gusk20 Your comment makes me to cry....

[Gusk20]

Rest in Peace great Master. Now you have the chance to play this for Bach in the heaven!

[askim925]

@Gusk20 Oh, I made a mistake. Your comment makes me cry, not to cry. I've just learned about this at school today.
