- Shrouded in wistfulness, all the movements of this Partita no. 2, here performed by Shunske Sato for All of Bach, are in a minor key. Bach’s manuscript originates from 1720, the year in which he returned from a journey to the unexpected news that his wife, Maria Barbara, was dead and buried. Even if Bach had already composed this partita, it is not hard to imagine that the music gained a whole different meaning for him after the death of his wife.
Recorded for the project All of Bach 24th June 2019 at the Lichtfabriek, Haarlem. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Comment. Bach.
I love you NBS, but I have to pick a bone with you using the French movement titles. While the French dance names are more commonly used, they are not what Bach wrote. This isn't trivial as it significantly shapes interpretation. Sato's performance, especially of the Ciaconna, is so pleasing precisely because it's free and allegro, in keeping with the Italian virtuoso tradition. Most players are misled to play it like a Chaconne (slower, more tragic in the Lullian sense).
@@user-ol1ib1ss2b It sounds great played at different speeds, on different instruments. Find an interpretation that you love and listen to it! I love so many, especially Jean Rondeau on the harpsichord, Hahn's slow recording as a teenager, the brahms left hand piano transcription, all amazing! I personally find the busoni transcription to miss the point entirely but many great pianists love it eg Kissin and Grimaud
Pin this comment please
@@user-ol1ib1ss2b tere are a lot of ways to play baroque music. This one is qute in the baroque french style. But I think the interpretation of sato is beautiful, And very baroque. More in the style of baroque than other versions
I am a retired professional violist, cathedral choirmaster, organist, composer and teacher in California. I would give just about anything to study with him. His interpretation of the Chaconne is of the highest inspiration!

I can say without any doubt that the All of Bach project by Netherlands Bach Society is producing the best performances of each work of J.S. Bach.
I wholeheartedly concur!

Totally agree…. I have been listening Bach music for the last 60 years but each of the NBS is the best…
Pas d'accord
@@fredphoto5551 are you French ?
That Chaconne ending! 🤩 I had to rewind to enjoy it one more time. ❤️
So nimble, silky, and utterly cleansing. Sato is simply stunning 🤩.
The entire universe on four strings. The older I get, I admire this more and more. ♥ Thank you, Mr. SATO.
The sharing of the complete sonatas and partitas
played by Shunske Sato in the Lichtfabriek in Haarlem
is for me the biggest musical gift in 2019!
His ornamentation always brings new life to the pieces- he’s a true baroque violinist with a real understanding of the music.
If he actually understood the music, he would not add these horrible rubatos that disrupt the flow of the music
@@s.l5787 suggesting he doesn't understand this piece sounds laughable
@@alvarotorrent5966 it took people 200 years to appreciate Bach, very few recognized his greatness after his death. Sato doesn't understand Bach's structure at all and has developed a very common tendency of professionals to focus on tone production over structure. Also many players who have above average understanding of Bach are not guaranteed to *communicate* it well to listeners.
@@s.l5787 I must be half deaf then. If you would want to go...play chess with the people who actually do understand Bach structure, if you're missing one, I'm free later
S.L The rubatos aren’t horrible, I love his style. And when Bach wrote the notes, he didn’t intend to have them played mechanically. Baroque music is all about emphasis and improvisation and ornamentation.
I’ve heard this piece from several world class artists. Sato makes Bach weep with joy and sing with the angels. It is truly a sublime and amazing painting of Bach’s beautiful picture. When I hear someone else play I come back to Sato and I am still amazed.
Sato ??
I compared a piece from Bach played by Hilary Hahn to hear the difference between a modern violin and a baroque violin and the thing is the baroque violin played by sato sounds so much better. He doesn't even need vibrato to color the sound. The sound is so rich, soft and melodic. Really interesting
Chaconne has never made me cry. Sato's playing is impeccable. I am a pianist, although the violin moves me just as much, if not more. The purity of harmony, tone and articulation, combined with the complexity of the Baroque particulars giving such richness in overtones. I love this piece, however it has never brought me to tears. The broken chord crossings are marvellously played. To watch this in-Person would be a privilege and an honour. Thank you NBS - I am so appreciative you are providing the World with such significance.
Sato is rapidly becoming one of my favorite living musicians! Bravo!
Mine too
I studied these off and on, without coaching, as an amateur violinist, well into adulthood. Thank you for showing me how it’s done. You have given me and others a standard to aspire to.
I knew the piece very well as I play it myself, and I had some personal favourites of mine like Perlman for bbc. But I'm so surprised with Sato version. He adds a fair amount to the pieces, and it's awesome! So personal, so deep rooted. Still, he makes them sound new to me in a way, might be the instrument or his own personal touch... Love it
I'm so used to hearing recordings of people playing Bach with modern tuning and modern styles that I was slightly shocked to see this authentic baroque tuning/style. I forget how warm and elegant it sounds. What a delight to hear this Bach from Shunsuke Sato!
That chaconne really takes you through a whole journey and back. Very nostalgic.
Shunske Sato is a samurai of the violin. He exudes a deep love and passion for this music, exploring and exposing new depths of understanding.
I so love his performances and truly appreciate all his commentary on the music and instruments.
MR. SATO IS JUST A RECITAL IN HEAVEN, AND HIS UNDERSTANDING OF BACH THE MOST WONDERFUL THAT THERE IS.
A REAL PLEASURE TO EXPERIENCE THIS MUSIC. RON
Oh my! Sato-san, I can sit here and listen to you play all day long and everyday!!!
Shunske deserves the same esteem and authority on Bach as Glenn. It's immense to bring to light all Bach's glory. Perfections existis, and this is the proof! What a marvellous musician Sato is. Hat s off, gentlemen, we have a genious!
Sato's arpeggi are just perfect! Not to the detriment of any other violinist, but he is the only one I've listened to that's produced such a clear, fine performance of the arpeggiated section of the chaconne!
I always observed Mr Sato as the spalla in the ensemble recordings which I receive from NBS. But when I firstly open one of these Bach solo masterpieces played by Mr Sato simply I got in shocking... which kind of timbers and colours can this violinist take out from his instrument?!?!!! Really this recordings cicle of Mr Sato must be considered and pointed as a historical performance and a new aesthetical reading of these Bach's masterpieces! Bravo!
Sato: outstanding, really outstanding performance.
The best interpretation I've heard. Sato, is simply the best violinist I have heard.
Look at that bow! It seems that Sato is playing with a feather! This piece is simply amazing and in Sato's hands it gets close to perfection.
Bravo!
(I'm from Brazil, sorry by any grammatical error, my English isn't that good)
Pablo Dias Schechtel 😆 doesn't matter this channel are Dutch people so we get it 😬👍🏻
@@bennieleip579 oh ok... Thank you... And even if I haven't written it right, everyone knows that Sato is incredible :)
Pablo Dias Schechtel There’s nothing wrong with your English, and musically you are absolutely right.
And I as an Indian can totally second Bennie
the instrument, the bow and the way he holds it, the tonality, even the note A is 415hz, the interpretation... ect anyway makes you a reincarnation of bach today ❤❤❤
Onbeschrijfelijk. Wat mooi, wat melancholisch. Weet niet wat te zeggen hierover. Hierin klinkt weemoed, pijn, liefde. Zo mooi..
I love the chaconne The sound is very beautiful, very emotional and also very meditative.
Without a sublime shine of a interpreter Bach was hidden in the shadow. Sato entlightens us and let us hear the genius of the composer.
Dear Sato, I thank you and the NBS for sharing your amazing recordings of JS Bach’s wonderful music. You are a talented musician, and an enlightened man because you decided to share your light. If we all follow your example, the world will be a better place.
I think i've listened to this piece over 100 times and it never fails to disappoint me. The way Sato plays is absolutely breathtaking. I never appreciated classical music when I was younger and this video has made me realize what a masterpiece this is and how talented Sato is for performing this with the utmost class and longevity. This will never be boring and always remain a masterpiece.
"it never fails to disappoint me" - Tell me you didn't mean that...
이제까지 바하의 곡을 들으며 선율이 아름답다고만 생각했었는데, 이 분의 연주는 마치 애절한 이야기를 들려주는 것처럼 느껴집니다. 몇백년전 작곡가의 이야기를 연주가가 마음으로 전해주는군요.
Thank you so much Sato, when you are beginning to play Bach a special door in heaven is open and my heart is full of peace and joy. You are like an angel.
I have thought the same. He is like an angel.
Sato + Repeat which derives from ”Ri” combines to Satori which means spiritual awakening. This is just how my mind sees it and i love your beautiful performances. You make my days so wonderful. Wholeness and balanced vibrations ❤️
I love how his playing is so flowing and articulate at the same time
Out of many things I admire, the tone quality with which he played the partita... Bravo.
The Gigue is gorgeous! A waterfall of notes!
Melhor interpret de Bach partita 2 que já ouvi!
There is something beautiful about performing Baroque pieces on period instruments. I have heard many renowned violinists performed the partita such as Heifetz, Perlman, Hahn and yet none of them came close to this. I certainly don't doubt their abilities but none of them performed using proper period instruments. I think baroque music is for me, best performed just like the way it's intended to be; on period instruments.
Actually the modern bow and strings don't do very well for the rolling chords and arpeggios of baroque music, even if they can do more in terms of tone on melodic lines. Baroque bows have light action and lots of space between hair and bow to roll around. Gut E sound is special too.
I think Hahn's first recording of this partita as a teenager is probably my favourite ever recorded sound. It's just transcendent. I liked this recording, but the chaconne seems less emotionally involved somehow, less full of sorrow, grief, ecstasy, suffering. But it's a personal thing, people like different things
Agree!!
@@Robert_1685 bach requires an intense emotional awareness while playing. getting a well balanced sound often means being more involved emotionally than in romantic.
Une tenue d’archet au violon totalement remarquable . Un jeu baroque exceptionnel et pour les œuvres de J.S.BACH il me fascine par ces justesses de jeux et de rythmes et nuances !
Truely a fine interpretation. There are many like the one by Heifetz, who told us that he explored in more than 30 years always new sides of this unique piece, which contains „ Weltschmerz“ and hidden happiness at the same time. And each of those who dare to play this chaconne presents his/her inmost soul and gives us tremendous joy.
He is ridiculously good, love how he plays Bach, beautiful ❤️
Beautiful! I would also like to hear him talk about the Sonatas and Partitas in a video if possible!🌷
Mr. Sato, i love you. Thanks for your amazing performance.
I didin't even watched it yet, but I'm so happy right now.. I feel so lucky to be able to listen this piece\performance at this level of quality.. Thanks to whoever make this possible..
Whenever I listen/watch this performance I find the motivation I’m looking for.. Thank you.
long life Mr.sato...
Sabiamente Shunske Sato corona el ciclo de las obras para violin solo BWV 1001-1006 con la Ciaccona: una mina de oro como recompensa que recibe el escucha atento, de las manos de un intérprete virtuoso. ¡Bravo!
You can hear each voice, the ornaments are the best. I'm just fascinated. Thank you, thank you.
Another refreshing interpretation by Mr. Sato. Thank you for these treasures!
This is why I love music so much, it can portray so many emotions without the usage of words I’m so happy that at the end of the day even if our existence is pointless at least we have music
Your existence is so intentional! 😄 the reason why we connect so deeply with this music and music in general, is because it is a beautiful gift from our Creator. That’s why it seems to feed our soul, because the Holy Spirit is moving when we play music. But don’t be mistaken - this is not the Well to drink from. Imagine the same supernatural satisfaction from its source!!! God is waiting for you. ♥️
@@benjaminlarrieu1631 bro im not trying to convert ive already got bach as my religion
Fantastisch. Das Sück als auch die Umsetzung des Künstlers. Bravo. Danke.
Caro Shunske, non finirò mai di ringraziarti per questi tuoi capolavori TUTTI ASSOLUTI! Sarei tanto felice di poterti avere nel mio Salotto Culturale in Sicilia. Sarebbe un sogno... 🎼💘🕊️
Absolutely spot on. I never tire of listening to this performance.
Best Sinterklaas gift for me. Thanks a lot.
The NBS always presenting us with the best interpretations… the best music channel available! :-D
Every time I listen to J.S. Bach, especially his Chaconne for violin in D minor, there is something different. Every recording I listen to has its own color. Bach is such a master of music!
Muchísimas gracias por su trabajo, Netherlands Bach Society.
Bach está más vivo que nunca.
Mr Sato's interpretation and rendering of the Bach composition is packed with emotion, beauty, serenity and grace. Thank you for sharing the video.
This is my favourite piece of this collection. Wonderful interpretation! Bravo Bach und Sato!! ❤️❤️🎼🎵👏🇮🇪☘️😊
Este es el mejor canal de CZcams. Todo, absolutamente todo es excepcional. Y la Netherland Bach Society nos permite admirar a artistas como Marteen Root, Lucia Swartz, el actual director y excepcional violinista Shunske Sato, y tanto otros. Felicitaciones y muchas gracias a Netherland Bach Society.
Чакона - потрясающая! Спасибо за возможность слушать бессмертную музыку Баха.
Как и вся партита!
Sato, haces magia con tu violín! Gracias! Precioso, me alegrarte mi desayuno 😆
Uno de los mejores canales de música!!!! ❤️😃
I have not watched it but already hit the like button. This is a certainty.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser perfekt konstruierten Partite im gut phrasierten Tempo mit durchsichtigem und gut artikuliertem Ton der Violine sowie mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Doppelgriffe im Sarabande klingen besonders schön und auch lyrisch. Echt genialer Violinist!
Ich finde sehr gut dass ich kann deutsch fehrstanden
@@danipar7388 Das finde ich auch. Deutsch ist die beste Sprache zur Kommentierung über barockisch-klassische Musik.
Thank you to Mr. Sato, and to the Netherlands Bach Society, for this interpretation of Bach that surpasses any one I've heard before.
Yes, Sato does an amazing job with most of his interpretations, though they are rubato-y. You might also want to look at other performers. If you liked this interpretation you might like these:

did he come from another world ? i mean dude it is just amazing the way he plays bach !!!!!!! thanks to God, to universe i dont know to be able to listen, thanks to bach and sato for giving us this beautiful music ! :)
This is so heavenly ❤️ beautiful play!!
This is my favorite Bach chaconne.
Genius. I am in awe of this music and this artist.
Es increible el dominio técnico, expresivo y musical de este hombre. Su sonido tiene tantos matices que es una maravillosa sorpresa continua y todo ello como quien no hace nada. Nunca vi tocar de esta manera. Es prodigioso. Gracias mil por este regalo.
Thats it.. after listening partitas from many other artists, I think I'm pretty sure this is the best version of all. I keep coming back to this performance. Thanks a lot.
Not only an extraordinary technique but above all a great soul!
Another beautiful recording Thank you NBS!
Bach and Sato, generous gifts to us from the Creator of all things. Bravo!!
Please please please please please release these performances in DVD/blu-Ray format.you owe it to the perpetuation of civilisation itself.
Seriously I’d really love that
É uma alegria ver uma interpretação tão tocante e viva como essa! Parabéns ao intérprete que elevou a composição ao patamar da inspiração do seu compositor! Bravíssimo!!!
Absolutely incredible poise, intonation and phrasing. Love it
Best performance i ever heard of this work. But yeah, I'm just a youtube enthusiast...
I love this interpretation. Fantastic Sato! Bravo 👏
Best Chaconne in the entire Laniakea! Thank you!
Simply beautiful. What a wonderful project you are undertaking. Thank you.
Good work.. keeping alive the music...
So wonderful to get ears and mind more and more free while outside the house but nearby a public festivity with loud hammering pop-music is roaring. The experience is incredible: I feel like totally absorbed by this incredible interpretation of Bach, liberated and regained inner peace after having had the noise outside for 2 days.
素晴らしいバッハ…
Amazing to see how the interpretation of exactly the same piece can change, and evolve, with time. The last video of Mr. Sato playing the Partita 2 in D minor was already excellent, but the ornamentation is better on this one.
יצירה נפלאה ! תודה רבה ל nbs !!!!!!!!
Beyond phenomenal.
You know, as a non-musical person, I always thought the violin had this kind of begging, plaintive sound and I always preferred the cello and instruments related to the cello. It’s like the pitch or vibration of the violin like irked me, or something like that. After watching this man perform, however, I finally understand why the violin rocks. Maybe it’s because the surface area is smaller than other stringed instruments and you really have to have a lot of patience and restraint to get it to sound the way this dude does. Amazing talent!
Such a gift that is being able to listen.
Baroque tuning, Baroque bow holding, Baroque violin, no shoulder rest. Violin solo. Feels like I'm back in 1700s.
This is Wonderful sounds... THX Sato!
Que grave que suena. Hermosa interpretación
Bravo bravo bravoooo!!! Very intense and emotional performance
Astonishing.
Impeccable performance. ❤️
(Also: Beautiful instrument, working together with the locations acoustics brilliantly.)
¡Bravo Maestro! Gracias por ese viaje sonoro al que nos ha llevado con su fantástica interpretación de relaciones cadenciales del discurso musical de Juan Sebastián presente en las sonatas y partitas para violín solo. Saludos cordiales desde Tenerife. España.
Brilliant!!! Bravo!
La chaconne est tout simplement fantastique !
Incroyable effectivement. 29 minutes de pure joie. Pas juste pour nous, en tant qu'audience. Je pense que l'interprete s'est eclate massivement. D'une certaine maniere, il nous donne une interpertretation a la Glenn Gould : un interprete et zero audience. Bravo.
Exactement : "The ideal artist to audience ratio is one to zero." quoth Glenn himself!
maravilloso.refrescante y profundo
Bach siempre es Sublime!
