Many reading this might not believe this, but within the first month of my live Ivry gitlis who was in a ten year relationship with my mother’s best friend Ana Maria Vera played this and Vivaldi for me, and I can never minimize the level of impact that has had on my soul, falling deeply deeply in love with the string melody and using this in virtually all of my music production, but even more so the soul of the music impacted me and must have deeply impacted the way I love laugh and live, thank you ivry for giving me something that nobody else could have given me, on my earliest arrival in life, and thank you for the way you impacted my mother and Maria and the world.

I'm in tears because after all my years of studying at the conservatory (more than 10 years), I've been trying to understand what honesty and purity would mean. This guy... This guy came along and brought the wisdom I yearned to understand. I've been dressing up all the pieces I've learned, I've polished them, made them pretty, nice, always having the objective for refinement that perhaps might be satisfying intellectually. But, the way he played, he scrap all that and made it so human and deeply meaningful. Thank you for your gift.

Anthony TAGHAKIAN What i am impliying is not that there is no great interpreter alive today, and that will be very insulting to the majority of the classical musician of today, rather that there is a break (huge one) in the tradition between the golden age and the modern age, they have lost most of the tradition and as a result the art suffer. the worst form of this can been seen in Opera singer. They lack total proper training to even be close from those of the golden age. This break can also be seen in the modern composer realm. Then again, some of those traditions were brilliantly violated by great artist like Glenn Gould but this is a whole other level of genius and I am sure Bach will have agree with most of the thing he did.

I've come back to this legendary performance once again. Throughout the performance I kept feeling like the piece was the embodiment of grief itself. The sharp, unbearable pain at the beginning (0:50 - 4:00), the denial and multiple frantic attempts to escape or reject reality (4:00 - 8:00). It literally sounds like the violin is sobbing at 7:50, Then the acceptance and gentle mourning that begins at 8:00, then the glimmer of happiness and return to normalcy that happens around 9:05 - 12:10. But the grief is ultimately still there and will always be there. You just learn to live with it and incorporate it (12:10 - end) Seriously a whole story within this performance.

Reviewing the comments, it is clear that we all have our preferences. And these change, too, as time goes by. I love this performance because it shows a person that has abandoned pretense and submitted to his own way with the written note. There is so much honesty here that the perceived imperfections fade away into the greater sonic experience of a person's breath. This performance is a great exhalation of a life devoted to the study of humanity. His ability to play comes in a close second to his ability to connect with people. I'm fuller each time I listen and encouraged to press forward as a grown man trying to learn this impossible instrument. Thankfully for most of us, people such as Gitlis don't mind being under-appreciated. Their joy comes from being experienced by others. This piece goes in the "win" column for humanity.

I always thought as if he was channeling Bach’s grief, pain and loss in the most beutiful, raw and real way through this performance. Unfortunately this feeling of loss rings more and more true as the time passes and we get to see all the good souls pass right in front of our presence as there is nothing we can do about it.

I've heard a lot of famous interpretations of this movement, and quite a few of the obscure ones, including its arrangements for a few other instruments - and though there have been a lot of great interpretations through the years, and many others that are unique and interesting, this is the one I keep coming back to almost every single day. Almost as a means to purge my mind. As I said, there are a lot of other great interpretations as well, and it is futile to even think of calling any one the greatest or the most accurate or anything of the sort, because they all have a lot to offer, yet according to me, this is one of the most honest interpretations that exist - and by an "honest" interpretation I do not mean the academically or theoretically inclined arguments of what Bach's music, or indeed even the music of that time is "supposed" to be or sound like - or the fact that "Chaccone" was supposed to be a type of a dance, something that Heifetz laid so much stress over that a lot of other people conveniently use his point of view as their own to intellectually argue and compare with - but much rather in the sense of Gitlis being completely honest about how and what he sees this piece to be and what it does to him, and being able to share that so honestly and effectively, rather than trying as an artist to do something to it for the sake of either uniqueness or conformity or theoretical perfection. It's almost as if he has very little to do with, but allows his very life force to let it unfold through him, without a care or bother about the drops of sweat and tears that fall on that historical instrument that he beholds. This movement, and (for me) this interpretation of it, just completely sums life up in about fifteen minutes.

violinhunter2 You must be able to recognize Joshua Bell, he has a really unique sound too. Maxim Vengerov also has a very different style

Reade Snair That is absolutely correct; however, I cannot be certain 100% of the time with Bell and Vengerov. Sometimes I misidentify them.

Totally with you on that but I think there is a simple explanation about it. Heifetz is absolutely perfect to the scratch in every piece he plays, like no other human can play, and Gitlis sound and interpretation are totally unique and unconventional.

Fabulous. Raw & intense. Very different from Grumiaux who is my default. Softer and more delicate touch. They're both fabulous. Get a glass of Chardonne', a set of studio headphones - and a joint. Turn off the lights, crank up the volume, and make sure you're not interrupted. The single most beautiful piece of music. In the universe. Do this at least once a week.

To me, this performance is on entirely different plane from all the rest I have heard, which all sound shallow and vanilla-like in comparison. Gitlis's rendition is deeply tragic and emotional -- the others are just pretty, but empty on the inside.

@@nicholaschung8207 I understand this might not be your taste, no one here is saying his performance is perfect in terms of technique taught to every violinist. It's about the emotions he conveys and the way he makes you feel. I'm a big fan of Hilary Hahn when it comes to Bach and think she tends to have the best interpretations of him but this performance here is mesmerising. I can't think of another time I was so moved by this piece.

@@annewick3287 I am a violin teacher. I love Ciaccone. Even though I am not a concert violinist, I decided to learn Ciaccone in order to perform with her on stage. In addition, I noticed that everyone, including maestro Gitlis, was playing bars 245, 246, 247 with nightmarish fingers. In my video in the DESCRIPTION underneath I give the correct fingering.

Jhamaal Sykes he might as well be crying with the amount of emotion he’s putting into the piece, he’s basically pouring his heart out. If he’s pouring is heart out, he’s gonna cry.

Amor, pasión, devoción, entrega, compromiso, admiración por cada nota, cada frase y una reflexión en cada fraseo. Homenaje absoluto a todo. Genialidad y humildad absolutas para el gran Bach!!!! Gracias Ivry!!!!! Divino!!!!!

In my opinion, he definitely has some parts that he plays better than I've ever heard. I wonder if his hack-saw technique with the bow is on purpose or if it's the style of song. I'm not knocking his ability, though. I can only dream to play this well!
