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.

@billyguns2 - I totally agree. There's nothing quite like it, in my opinion. I'm sure God was listening too!

@mahler151 The Brahms version is scored for piano; the left hand only. It's a very literal transcriptions with no Romantic "fill-in" flourishes. Leon Fleischer recorded it. You can see a brief clip of the Mahler/Yoel Gamzou Tenth if you search YouTube for "GUSTAV MAHLER Symphonie Nr.10 International Mahler Orchestra." Spoiler: Gamzou conducts and is young/disheveled in a way that's either thrilling or unsettling. 23 years old! Gamzou's website has a lot to say about his completion.

@TheStockwell I have not checked Brahms' transcription, I should do so.
I also have not heard this DVd of Mahler's 10th.
-
@mahler151 Have you "tried" the Brahms transcription? Oh, and since you're "Mahler 151," have you heard about the new DVD performance of Mahler Nr.10 of Yoel Gamzou?

Being a pianist, I must say I prefer Busoni's transcription.

Exquisite.

a true epic of emotions. what can I say? just perfect!

In his late recordings, I sometimes find nothing remarkable, BUT when he was young, and particularly this one! This really is the treasure (as well as the one in Gstaad in Art o the Violin. I really wish to see the whole performance). I wonder how man on earth can create such beauty, and how Bach feels it up in heaven......

I've always adored Segovia's interpretation of this piece, and hadn't heard it played on violin until now.
Needless to say, I'm floored.

Menuhin, you are immortel, I adore you! I mean your art as well as your kindness. And one more reson for me to adoreyou: your friendship with another genious, Enescu . You gessed, I am a roumanian.
Having no money to buy a concert-tiket, I wanted to enter by all means, so I tried the entrance of the orchestra, then I losed my way and I found myself... on the stage! At last I could listen You, standing up with ather young people... It was many years ago...

I think it's interesting how in every recording of the Bach Chaconne there's at least a good 5 or more seconds of recording left just to let it all sink in and for the listener to recover from the intense emotion

Yeah, I left that in there on purpose actually, hehe. Definitely need more than 5 seconds to truly finish enjoying the experience of listening to the chaconne.
