Jean Rondeau plays Bach’s Chaconne on harpsichord for his debut album IMAGINE

Jean Rondeau: Buy the album IMAGINE: Chaconne from Partita No.2 for violin BWV 1004, transcribed for piano by Johannes Brahms, and played by Jean Rondeau with two hands on harpsichord! One of many flights of imagination on this young musician’s debut album IMAGINE. Rondeau describes this feat as “an exercise of squared transcription: violin, the king of instruments in Bach‘s 18th century, transcribed for piano, king of instruments in Brahms‘s 19th and re-transcribed for harpsichord, to come full circle, back to beginnings, from Bach to Bach, by way of Brahms in a way. And to borrow Brahms‘s phrase, with me at the harpsichord slipping into the violinist‘s shoes.“ __________ Warner Classics ► Website: Subscribe to our: ► YT- Channel: ► Newsletter Follow us on: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitter: ► YouTube: Listen to us on: ► Spotify: ► Apple Music: ► Deezer Warner Classics is the home of classical music, featuring iconic high audio quality recordings from the greatest classical legends, opera stars and orchestras of the last century.
