Bach Chaconne with Bouriakov
Dear Flutists,
Update 2020: Bouriakov's Chaconne is now in print for under $10 at Fluteworld.
From 2010:
A very warm and cheery "Happy New Year" to you all.
If you want practicing inspiration for today, do check out Denis Bouriakov performing the Bach Chaconne on youtube.
Part 1
Part 2
This is sheerly terriff!
I love the transcription, which is the artist's own, and I just love this piece of music. It's one of the few times when a solo violin Bach work actually WORKS!!
What a player!!
Happy listening.
And happy practice year to us all!
Jen

Wow, he's a great player. I've added his website to my favorites. He has a lot of recordings on there including the Mozart in D.
Thanks for posting this!
So incredible! It's facinating to see how he holds his flute. More often I see the lower lip more centered at the edge of the tone hole. He gets such wonderfully clear sound!
He sounds fantastic. Anyone know what kind of flute and headjoint he plays? Thanks!
He plays Altus 1701, I believe. Not sure about the headjoint:

Hi Jen,
I *really* appreciate your helpful comments and videos scattered about on various web pages. I also have a cat, but one which comes running across the road just to hear my high (earsplitting) D's and E's. (She also likes tenor sax at close range).
I like Denis's (ok Denis') playing and he does a lovely job on this piece.
Cheers,
