Yehudi Menuhin plays Bach Chaconne (Part 2)

Bach ! magie de sa partition !

Did I say "excellent" in my comment on part 1? That's a gross understatement!

This is the voice from heaven.

I could recognize Menuhin's sound from a mile away....

that made me weep...i've heard it played by tons of guitarists and a couple other violinists but none of them touched me like this.  i don't think i can listen to this for a while because its too emotionally draining.

hero.

"your friendship with another genious"

Glenn Gould too :P

I personally feel this is too fast but still very well played.

fast? i thought it was kinda to slow to really get a good sense of the harmonies within itself

It's been about 10 years now (wow !!) since I'm listening to bach's chaconne. Heifetz / Milstein / Menuhin / vengerov. What to say this music seem to mean everything to us but quite nothing for everybody else. Menuhin interpretation is on the emotional side / heifetz / vengerov on the technical side , whereas milstein is in between. Those interpretations are of a higher level and very very good on a technical plan. Emotionnally, I'll give a + for menuhin's, but I also like Milstein's
