  • I think the purpose is not to define which one is the greatest

    (what "great" means ?) but why I love one version or another.

    We can often read on youtube : the best ever, the greatest of all time of the universe...

    Life and music aren't hit-parades. We all have different sensibilities...

    In this case the purpose was to make this version available to listening because it exists, I really love it and it wasn't on youtube. Enjoy !

  • it´s grumiaux version? because it´s not David, Anzelloti, Auer or Charlier.

    Thanks for putting this !

  • @octcerviolin :

    Hello ! I don't know on which score Grumiaux based his interpretation.

    But something is sure : it's exactly the same as the one published in 1966 (10 years after the Grumiaux recording...) by Diethard Hellemann for Bärenreiter and still available (Hortus Musicus 100). In the preface Mr Hellemann says that "his" version is taken from a manuscript of Dresden library (Musica 2037 R/1).

    I hope it can help you.

  • @venusianagent: THANKS A TON for putting this up!

  • @parachutes2005 : it's our pleasure !!! :-)

  • Hello. I fully agree with you, there are all so different. Listen the one from Heifetz, it is completely different, the sensibility of the violinist is so important. There is no perfection every one play with his own sensibility…It is just amazing how different it could be…

    On my side I prefer this one to Heifetz :-)

    Thank you for this GREAT version.

  • I really can't tell wich Chaconne of the greats is the greatest. They all have there own very unique and wonderful beauty to it :)

  • @venusianagent

    Then it may be the original version of the Chaconne, not the version in which it was transformed into a violin showpiece by Ferdinand David and others. Thanks for putting it up!
