@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 !

@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.

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

[Stehnz]

@olivleonardo yes it would

@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!

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. 

[olivleonardo]

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

[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.
