Tanya Gabrielian - Bach-Busoni-Siloti Chaconne

[@robertcocovinis5269]

I like this Siloti version which takes out the excesses of the Busoni version, which can be rather exhausting to listen to.

[@albertmachaj7540]

Tanya I Love Your Work, Its Inspiring!

[@alibayat7377]

Chaconne has an awesome sophisticated story that she tells very nicely.

[@FH-kv8qj]

Magnificent interpretation ! 💙 d'une grande clarté ! Bravo !!!

[@theMad_Artist]

This deserves way more views. Such a fantastic performance!

[@khananasherov]

A good transcription, too. (I prefer it to Busoni's.)

[@fantonio013]

I totally agree. The other interpretations of this transcription sounds very mechanical. This one has character and beatiful pontuactions even when it's not in the sheet music.

mir fehlen die Worte...ATEMBERAUBEND!

[@thomasstier488]

Mit großer Einfühlung und mit Ausdruck, Bravo.

[@samuelwinston2670]

You showed me a new way to hear this... I am so pleased. Thankyou... I wish I could articulate it better. It is your interpretation.

[@theartist5844]

Wow.... This is a breathtaking perfrmance. 😭

[@markkuss7816]

Beautiful arrangement that has a complete life of its own separate from its origin story. Absolutely fantastic performance! (Love the super clear voicing of your between-the-hands octaves.)

[@debbyplayer]

Dear Mark why has complete life of its own? Can you tell me something about?

[@jesusalbertoduranfdz9922]

Pocas cosas le emocionan a uno profundamente.!! Esta interpretación es una de ellas. Upff qué hondura. No la había escuchado Tanya, pero ahora será una de mis favoritas. Bravo. !!

[@rdiddyspace1708]

wonderfully played. I'm learning it right now and it's a very spiritual piece.

[@enriquesanchez2001]

BRAVA~!!!!! Tanya! This was so wonderful. Thank you so much for opening up my soul ♥

[@danlds17]

I love this interpretation, no cheap showiness or pointless virtuosity. But solidity and control, you make everything hang together well. I especially like the phrasing at 13:10 which everyone else rushes through...

[@Passacaglia43]

this is absolutely superb

[@joaocarneirodesousa6420]

De fato, só queria assistir ao início, mas como um filme eletrizante, me prendeu até o final. Excelente, parabéns !

[@sultanvoices]

Incredible and immersive performance. I admit that I am only familiar with the many recordings of this work on guitar and violin (usually gravitating towards the former). Yet hearing this version on the piano is like reading a favourite poem skilfully translated into a new language - the place is the same, but the colours and the passage of time are different. Thank you for sharing this with us all.

[@Passacaglia43]

What a lovely way to put it! I concur wholeheartedly

[@rodclyde6215]

Bravo Tanya.Breathtaking playing.

[@emilegregoire]

This is now my favorite interpretation, good job!

[@TheBobbyProton]

You are monstrously talented. By far the best performance of the Chaconne I've heard.

[@elenab.4365]

Fantastica!

[@manmars1581]

Very good playing and piano sound also!

[@Jehag2]

Great transcription. (And I am a violinist) Great performance too.

[@benL8417]

Magnificent! Thank you. What is Bach saying in this piece? Effort, something like the beauty of effort. Siloti so spare and precise.

[@Sam7sh]

Great job!

[@fioramantini1847]

You are exceptionnelle, j adore

[@qlethora4101]

Thanks for this!

[@kennethgilbertdds7249]

practice, practice, practice

[@julianyuan4411]

Marvellous!!! By the way, is it an old New York steinway that you played?

[@四位敏雄]

コメントするのが、幻想の正当化とおもわせるほどの、価値ある演奏。

[@saravia1_]

It's a excellent performance. I'm just confused isn't this the Busoni transcription ?

[@phred23]

No, but it's an easy mistake to make. Aleksandr Siloti wrote an arrangement of the Bach/Busoni Chaconne, reworking and typically simplifying passages to require merely exceptional technique instead of the superhuman virtuosities Busoni assumed of his players. (the other big difference is in the ending, where I believe Siloti hews closer to Bach's score and only plays the D in octaves, where Busoni fleshes it out into a D-major chord.

[@ASiloti]

This is the Siloti version which is based on the Busoni transcription. It should be labeled "Bach-Busoni-Siloti"

[@danlds17]

@@phred23 Not everyone plays the final chord as a D major, or as just octaves as Siloti does. Checkout Maria Tipo's performance of this (final chord in D minor, I think it's optional). (Although Maria is playing the Busoni version.) But to your question, Siloti (a student of Listz) came along after Busoni and modified his version again. In most people's opinion, it is slightly simpler to play.

amar siloti boin bala aso ni

[@Tonysmithmusic]

monster piece.

[@enriquesanchez2001]

I SINCERELY believe that of all the piano versions of the Chaconne, SILOTI'S is the purest and most faithful to the original. It is a shame that Busoni's is played more because this version does not have all the virtuoso and I believe unnecessary embellishments that Busoni's version brings forth that detracts from the spirit of the original.

[@j.waardenburg8178]

I agree! I love both versions very much and I adore the original (for violin). One of the things that amazes me about the violin piece is the unique amount of musical debt that's found in this solo violin piece. Siloti's arrangement offers more than enough opportunities for a musician to express this debt on a piano. A great addition --> I actually have a chance of being able to play this version one day!

[@enriquesanchez2001]

@@j.waardenburg8178 All my best to you!

[@1947August]

Die muss man wirklich nicht auf Tasteninstrumenten spielen!!

[@charlesjazz3224]

Wonderful performance. But description wrong. This is transcription of Bach Chaconne in D Minor by Ferruccio Busoni. Just do search on KZbin there are many performances.

[@user-fu7zf4ck9z]

This is Siloti's arrangement of Busoni's transcription
