What a triumph if you could play this on a solo violin! :) Actually this is very good, good enough to bring tears to my eyes. It's always a pleasure to see Mr. Ozawa on the podium, ultimate grace and clarity.
The orchestration by Hideo Saito is a nice one. Others who have orchestrated Bach's Chaconne are : Leopold Stokowski (of course), Joachim Raff, Alfredo Casella, A. Walter Kramer, Jeno Hubay, Maximilian Steinberg, Pavel Rivilis, Natan Rakhlin......
When Ozawa talks about Prof.Saito we see almost always tears of gratitude in his eyes. I heard an episode of Ozawa in TV long before. Prof.Saito was so strict with his students that Ozawa once ran away in terror at full speed from the lesson in Prof.Saito's house without putting on his shoes. We see how scared Ozawa was. Saito-Kinen means Saito-memorial.
This is an orchestration of Ferruccio Busoni's piano transcription of Bach's original piece. Is an interpretation of an interpretation (with which I have no problem whatsoever). I play and love the Busoni transcription, which is a masterful feat of musical re-engineering. The piano transcription is so masterful that you can't help but to hear an orchestra. To see it actually orchestrated is amazingly refreshing. I would have fleshed out some parts, here and there, to make it sound bigger, but hey!, is amazing as it is. Thank you for posting it!

La unidad de los elementos de esta orquesta, que está dirigida por Seiji Ozawa, nos hablan de lo maravillosa que es la unión en todos los campos y niveles. Los resultados son maravillosos. Terdej1
l'Oeuvre ultime à emporter sur une île déserte ou à l'autre bout de l'univers ! la Grande Chaconne en ré est universelle c'est pour moi la seule à sauvegarder en cas de cataclysme et cette version est assez renversante dans toutes les subtilités de la partition
I prefer this to the Stokowski, for sure! This makes much better use of the strings. But I don't understand ending with the Maggiore, unless Ozawa wanted to "end on a positive note" as a tribute to the great teacher.
Chaconne as only violin music is monockrome photo. But this arranged by Saitoh Takao is color photo. I feel Chaconne is exellent musically tune, and Mr Saitoh presented this fact wonderfully.Thank you for uploading.
not accurate transration, but... "I've learned many about Bach-Chaconne from Maestro Hideo Saito. This piece should be originally played by one player, but we'll now play orchestra version which Hideo Saito arranged. This tune contains several variations where I think our prayer should be put into."
The un-art of demoting the most sublime romantic music of all times to a hollow spectacle worthy of a street performance to get bystanders excited for a minute before they walk off to their business unimpressed. Consider Leopold Stokowski instead!
訃報に接し、予期はしていたものの、やはり言葉がみつかりません。何かひとつだけ視ようと選んだのがNHKでの放送以来ずっと愛聴してきたこの演奏でした。指揮者はもちろん演奏者全てが音楽に真正面から真剣に向き合い、一音一音に全身全霊をかけるこの姿勢こそが戦後日本のクラシック音楽界を作ってきたのだなと改めて思います。小澤征爾さん。ありがとうございました。心よりご冥福をお祈りします。
小澤先生たくさんの名演ありがとうございました。
やすらかにお眠り下さい。
2024/2/9の小澤さんの訃報に接して、心からのお悔やみを申し上げます。
「シャコンヌ」の演奏は斎藤記念オーケストラのCDでも愛聴していますが、この映像の演奏も心に刻まれています。
自伝の「ボクの音楽武者修行」も面白くて「音楽家の自伝にハズレなし」というその後の個人的指針を与えてくれました。
どうぞ安らかにお休みください。（－人ー）

Que apasionante versión!!
編曲も演奏もすばらしいです。 １０年以上前にこの映像がTVで放送された時、この曲と演奏に感動して録画したVHSからカセットテープにダビングしたことがあります。まだmp3もなかったのでそのカセットをウォークマンで何度も聴いていました。VHSもカセットテープもどこに行ったか分からなくなってしまいましたが、ここで偶然再会できてうれしいです。
鳥肌のたつほど素晴らしい演奏です。
独奏じゃないのを初めて聞きましたが、これはいい！！！
分かりにくいところのない、誠実な編曲と、誠実な演奏。「バッハか？」と問われたら難しいですが、それは「お祈り」が入っているせいかもしれませんね。
大畠先生、天国で観ておられますよネ…😔
素晴らしい演奏ですが、これは別物のシャコンヌとして聞かせていただきました。プゾーニ版のシャコンヌしかりですが、バッハが何故無伴奏としてバイオリンの為に作曲したかと言う理由が逆にこのオーケストラ編曲から見えてくる気がします。
洋阿相
全く同感です。この曲には各種独奏楽器や合奏用の編曲がありますが、本質とは大きな乖離を感じます。斎藤秀雄氏の功績は絶大なものがあったと思いますがこの編曲はあまりに原曲とは違い感心できませんし、録音が良くないのか演奏も良くありません。ストコフスキーの方がマシにさえ聞こえてしまいます。（小澤征爾と同年配の徘徊老人）
@@洋阿相 私も同感です。短調で始まり、一時長調に転じるものの最後は再び短調に戻る、という原曲の構成が無視され、長調のまま終わってしまっている。それだけでも別物ですね。そして、バッハがなぜ無伴奏バイオリンのためにこれを書いたのか、という青木兄の指摘も、腑に落ちました。これは本来、一人の人間の孤独や悲しみを表現したパントマイムなのではないか。そしてそれは同じ孤独と悲しみを形を変えて繰り返し、一時は希望が射すものの最後は再び孤独と悲しみの中で終わる。それが原曲の意図だったのではないか、と。
Amazing maestro Ozawa and his Orchestra💗💗💗Always excellent!!!
Que INTENSIDAD!!!!
感情的に強く、構造的に完璧
This chaconne - originally for solo violin - is, in itself powerful enough for this. So great! Thank you.
I can see every performers are full of spirit of cooperation and this is only be done by Saito orchestra.
きれいです
日本人が演奏すると
なぜかなんでもおきれいに 清潔に なっちゃうけど
これはきれいさが良いほうにでてます！
素晴らしい演奏でした。ぜひとも斎藤先生がオーケストラに編曲なさったシャコンヌの楽譜を入手したいです。

Did Busoni make the orchestration for orchestra as well

Extremely Beautiful! Grandioso!!!
Fantastic! I thought the orchestra version from Stokowski was the ultimate version, but this is at least as good as that one! Thank you so much!
instablaster.
Amazing
God 10:22 - 11:13 is just magical!
Great performance!!
Rest in peace
멋져요~~~!!!
오자와 선생~~ 늘 건강하시기 바랍니다~!!
Saito great performance
Beautiful!!!

That was sublime.
無伴奏ヴァイオリンより対位法の各声部が良く分かる。
Wonderful !
Hearing an orchestra perform this is breathtaking!
Beautiful
Impresionante Bach enhor
Enhorabuena
Fantástica versión.

Please listen to the piece. And don't think about the technicalities.
Well done! Thanks for the ear candy.

Very good! Bravo to Mr. Ozawa!

this is form partita for solo violin BWV1004
時間がなかったのでしょうか？曲の途中で終了しているのが残念です。
Why does this cut off in the middle of the piece?
The last part which come back d minor was lost, Right?
小澤さんの指揮は指揮棒の方が素晴らしい。この演奏自体はオーケストラ編曲だから、趣が違うから、それは仕方ない。バッハ氏としては感動は数ではなく一人の１つの楽器で十分という事だろう。
Is the the score for this available?
Where is D moll ending
Exactly.
a different one.
interesting
8:37
I still think Chaconne should be for solo violin ONLY. Any other transcription simplifies the technicalities of the piece.
Are you sure? Listen the guitar transcription played by julian bream and tell me...
😉🍑❣️💐
I prefer minimalism.
Any transcription seems rather inferior to Bach's original composition.
The un-art of demoting the most sublime romantic music of all times to a hollow spectacle worthy of a street performance to get bystanders excited for a minute before they walk off to their business unimpressed. Consider Leopold Stokowski instead!
Nice arrangement and nice performance...but it isn't Bach. When something is perfect you just let it be.
I guess you can't polish a turd. This arrangement is awful.
Stokowski is better
