This is so amazing. Sooo amazing! What a wonderful interpretation. Thank you soo much, Leopold! Tragic that it has only 12000 views while stupid pop icons get billions. As much as I love gaga...haha.

The grandeur of the composition is well defined in this work. Clearly Stokowski realized that this work needed additional expression. The orchestra was the best instrument to show how great the Chaconne really was.

This is so great. I usually don't like different adaptations of pieces of music I love but this is simply amazing.

Prefer it on the solo violin, but absolutely love the first minute or so - those chords are just wondrous. Love it when the violas comes in at 0:55 - very dusky atmosphere there.

good arrangement but it misses the fire, the passion when it is played on solo instrument. But as always it is a pleasure to listen to Stokowski's transcriptions.

non pensavo cosi' ben orchestrata!!bel lavoro e raffinata esecuzione
Anyone attempting to do something like this today would be treated as a musical heretic by the media and abandoned by the record labels. Here was a man of his time, trying to push the boundaries of Bach’s music. With the opening rather reminiscent of “Metamorphosen” by Strauss, this orchestration and performance is quite astounding, put in the can long before the days of easy editing and added saccharin reverb. What a pleasant find, many thanks for uploading it, a real pleasure.
