Bach's Chaconne


I am obsessed with Bach's Chaconne these days. This is a very different version by Sigiswald Kuijken - an extremely beautiful opening/introduction, less emotive for sure than Heifetz's or Milstein's, and WAY faster. (Some consider this as more 'authentic' to the original interpretation/intention of the Baroque style. Viktoria Mullova is another violinist who opts for this approach.)



Itzhak Perlman's version.


Jascha Heifetz's Chaconne.


And finally, my favourite violin virtuoso—Nathan Milstein.
