Absolutely delightful…the novelty quickly disappears as the music emerges…proving again that a sax ensemble satisfies in every way, despite (welcome) absences of brass and strings…

Playing the chaconne on a solitary unaccompanied violin is "heroic", but it really doesn't do it justice! (And I'm saying this as a violinist.) An ensemble like this brings out the full symphonic sonority of the more dramatic sections, and all the "hidden" melodies a violinist would (try to) imply with careful control of bow speed, pressure, and vibrato can be explicitly played. Beautiful work!

My body is physically incapable of handling the amount of emotion coming from this performance. Amazing.

I am pretty confident if Bach was brought back from the dead and listen to this, it would bring tears of joy to his eyes. Many of the big name violinists do not understand this piece as well as these saxophonists do. Absolutely amazing transcription and performance. Thanks for sharing.

I never imagined that saxophone could sound as beautiful and powerful as say cello or violin...and here we are. This cracked my heart open and brought me to tears. What a powerful, beautiful, and nuanced performance. Thank you to all of the musicians. You rock!

After this, J S Bach and Adolfo Sax came on stage and gave each other a hand shake. Bach is so well written it sounds perfect on any instrument. These musicians however bring another level to the music.

Curiously enough, one of the best version ever. And i'm a violinist..

Das ist einfach wunderschön, zum Heulen schön.

Dr. Fennell would be So pleased with this sound, I'm positive. I played Bari sax under his direction at NC School of the Arts in a summer program. So last century, but there's still a few of us around.

Absolutely wonderful performance and arrangement of the greatest 15 minute composition in music history.
adambierzniewski7307 (15 hours ago)
I agree that Chaconne is the greatest composition in music history.

Adolphe Sax is at this time very very pround of his own invention, great work and playing !
nickykeefover6659 (2 hours ago)
The performance needs no praise, it speaks plenty well enough on its own. Thank you for giving this its nothing short of a gracious gift.

This is breathtaking. I cannot simply describe it.

Among many other things this shows what musicians are capable of when mastering the tonal possibilities of their instruments, an art that thankfully seems to be gaining somewhat of a rebirth possibly or at least more exposure due to youtube and the wonderfully generous folks posting such high quality offerings!

This is absolute music - Whatever it is played on, it works - if the spirit of JSB is invoked...
