I don’t understand some of the comments here - Bach said his music was there to elevate the spirit, so if there is only one person, who likes this (and there are many, apparently), it is in Bach’s spirit. Also, his music is universal in its construction and does not need to be limited by choice of instrument. This performance is marvellous and displays both the unbelievable technique of the performer and the eternal, all-encompassing musical genius of Bach. Thank you.
Bach's Chaconne has been transferred pretty much for every musical instrument in the universe (even the human voice, Bobby McFerrin), traditional classical or not, but this is the first time have the opportunity to hear it interpreted with a 'humble' recorder, and it sounds divine. I guess only the great Horacio Franco could've done the miracle. Thank for sharing. Cheers.
Un orgullo para México, de los mejores exponentes de lo que el trabajo arduo y la genialidad en la interpretación pueden lograr Horacio es ejemplo vivo de esto, ojalá algún día tengan el honor de presenciar en vivo una de sus presentaciones por que... después de vivirlo no hay más que decir.
Yeah, people do not realize that this is only playable on a violin... of course, there will be things that does not sound so sweet because he is emulating on such instrument.
Una interpretación magistral. Mas que eso una verdadera oración, para Gloria de Dios y regocijo del alma! Me ha emocionado hasta las lágrimas! Dios bendiga al interprete.
I can't believe my ears... for one that knows this piece well it comes over as a masterpiece for the recorder... incredible.. the arpeggios came over perfectly.. I agree completely about how the cords were played.. true the violin can handle two cords at a time.. one less than the recorder.. a fifth of what a piano can do.. don't like busoni... I'm happy!
Horacio Franco es considerado uno de los mejores músicos de flauta dulce en el mundo, incluso hay piezas que han sido creadas para que él las interprete. Qué triste que la gente no lo valore y desconozca por completo la genialidad con la que le arranca al viento esas notas.
@Hajnalka4 not sure. maybe youre right he's just showing off, although i feel intonation is off or maybe some things just cannot be transcribed to certain instruments
nadie ha puésto como ley universal, que la música siempre tenga que sér perfetamente interpretada, un ejemplo és la música medieval, que comúnmente improvisada y aún así fué excelente, obvio si se quieren hacer las cosas bien hay que saber interpretar, pero no solo las buenas interpretaciones son capaces de hacér música bella, claro para quien le guste, al fin y al cabo no hay música fea, solo gustos distintos
@isaacangel Amigo me puedes explicar que pasa con tu "Literatura, música y denuncia de grupos que fomentan el odio y la violencia" de tu perfil??? ya he visto varios videos de Horacio en los que pasas comentando lo mismo...
I find this response slightly arrogant. Can you provide details on what is exactly what you don't like and what you as a trained musician can do that Horacio is failing to accomplish?
So you wouldn't want it heard on any one line instrument? A violin can hardly accomplish non-arpeggiated chords, and a xylophone certainly can play whole chords, so is that really your issue? The recorder was an instrument of Bach's time, one he composed for, and one that requires, like any other instrument, intense musicianship to handle. The expression he creates here is amazing, especially coming from an instrument so difficult to work dynamically. Rethink the recorder, it's great.
Totally humbling technique and interesting interpretation of a beautiful piece. I suppose Bach may be turning in his grave over some of the parts though :)
si sabes quien es debes saber que en los ultimos años de su vida era muy común que tuviera multiples errores de notas, pero nadie hacía música como el así que a quién le importaba? no siempre es lo mas importante (claro estoy de acuerdo que no todos son unos Horowitz jeje) =)
el peor enemigo de un Mexicano es otro Mexicano no me extrañaría que los 57 dislikes fueran de 40 o más acomplejados del país.. GRANDE MAESTRO HORACIO FRANCO !!
¿aspecto físico? Música. La música llamada clásica, aunque te resulte increíble, PUEDE TOCARSE SIN FRAC. Y sí, hasta con las orejas perforadas y todo. Por cierto, en cuanto a lo que decís de la imprecisión y las notas falsas, no te lo discuto porque no tengo el conocimiento suficiente para opinar. Aunque no niego disfrutar el video.
Me parece que todo es cuestión de gustos ... para mi, Monet es a Moises, como Picasso es a Horacio. Ambos me parecen muy buenos, cada uno con su estilo. Si te gusta, disfrutalo; sino, cambia de canal, y sigue adelante.
Si no te gustóla interpreacion, es tu opinión, como lo son las de FacundoEC o el gatoz56. Si viste de traje, o de mezclilla, si usa aretes o anteojos, si es homosexual o de closet, o heterosexual, PARA MI GUSTO: VIVA LA DIVERSIDAD !!!! Algo que me resulta PATETICO de tu caso, es que no gustándote como interpreta Horacio, te tomes tanto tiempo en darnos tu opinión.
I must admit that his technique is admirable but I think that it would be more adequate not to try to imitate the quadruple-stopped chords of a violin, but to transcribe it for a recorder duet or something like this. A magnificent performance though by an amazing artist.
Probably because of prejudice due to appearance. must have worked quite hard to transpose this to recorder and play it so virtuosic. Unavoidably he makes some mistakes, and of course those faster parts especially don't sound like the original and he must make mistakes with such an instrument. probably some also thinks some things shouldn't be meddled with and kept as it is. I don't like the appearance of the man myself too, but i must that its a very hard piece to play, especially with recorder.
@themusicdr I wonder why this sounds terrible, perhaps he lacks every humility towards the piece he is playing, and just thinking about himself, and him playing it and showing off... because he is not out of tune, and not too bad with technique either, but it still hurts to listen to... just simply a horrid performance...

I love this piece so much and also really like this guy for such a beautiful interpretation of Bach Chaconne on recorder!
C'est magnifique ! ça c'est grand et génial pour l'éternité .
Very very amazing!!! Floored!!!! Spectacular!!!!
24 people have no idea how incredible it is just to attempt this on recorder, let alone do a really admirable job of pulling it off!
Yeah, people do not realize that this is only playable on a violin...
of course, there will be things that does not sound so sweet because he is emulating on such instrument.
En los arpegios circulares escucho el arco saltando sobre las cuerdas. ¡Cómo!¡Es una flauta! Felicidades noble Horacio.
MASTERR!!!!!!!!!! BACH ALWAYS PLAYABLE IN ANY INSTRUMENT A GENIOUS
Una de las mejores interpretaciones que he escuchado de Horacio Franco...Bravo 👏👏👏
This is incredible!
Beautiful.
ARRIVA MEXICO, GREAT INTERPRETATION, GOOD JOB HORACIO
I relieve Horacio is the best recorder player in all Word wide. Amazing recorder player.
Amazing. I didn't think that was possible. lol...
Increible... sencillamente increible...

Incredible playing!

La maestría se observa en la digitación y se siente en el aliento de la flauta que hace vibrar mi alma...

Totally convincing!
Una interpretación magistral. Mas que eso una verdadera oración, para Gloria de Dios y regocijo del alma! Me ha emocionado hasta las lágrimas! Dios bendiga al interprete.

Bravo !
Nice sound of recorder. Very nice interpretation.
Bravo is right!!. This piece is hard enough on classical guitar!
Recorder? WICKED!!

incrível!!!
bravo
Wouldn't have believed it.
Si estoy totalmente de acuerdo, además de ser un gran ser humano es muy talentoso y sencillo.
He studied and obtain his Master on Recorder @ Amsterdam..Yes Europe, where there are podiums, messy listeners not messy players. Viva Mexico
Truly, a Bach-hacker. Astounding!

Many thanks. I hope to post soon a video of my edition at Hofmeister's: www.hofmeister-musikverlag.com/authors/c-d/c/cassignol-jean.html
ちゃんとシャコンヌなところがすごい…！

@Dtotheworld Check out my Alto Recorder Improvisation video man, maybe you'll dig it...
why are there no awesome recorder videos on youtube?

si estoy de acuerdo pero siento que lo dices como si 2 de cada 3 notas las diera erradas jeje
si sabes quien es debes saber que en los ultimos años de su vida era muy común que tuviera multiples errores de notas, pero nadie hacía música como el así que a quién le importaba? no siempre es lo mas importante (claro estoy de acuerdo que no todos son unos Horowitz jeje) =)
IT's a recoRDEr.
espero que sepas quien es Vladimir Horowitz y sepas porque lo digo...
el peor enemigo de un Mexicano es otro Mexicano no me extrañaría que los 57 dislikes fueran de 40 o más acomplejados del país.. GRANDE MAESTRO HORACIO FRANCO !!
¿aspecto físico?
Música. La música llamada clásica, aunque te resulte increíble, PUEDE TOCARSE SIN FRAC. Y sí, hasta con las orejas perforadas y todo.
Por cierto, en cuanto a lo que decís de la imprecisión y las notas falsas, no te lo discuto porque no tengo el conocimiento suficiente para opinar. Aunque no niego disfrutar el video.
Me parece que todo es cuestión de gustos ... para mi, Monet es a Moises, como Picasso es a Horacio. Ambos me parecen muy buenos, cada uno con su estilo. Si te gusta, disfrutalo; sino, cambia de canal, y sigue adelante.

Which is why I thumbs downed your comment, because it's narrow minded.

I don't like the appearance of the man myself too, but i must that its a very hard piece to play, especially with recorder.
interesting that a recorder player can be controversial. At least there are interesting reactions to this interpretation..
super sucio tocando
@themusicdr I wonder why this sounds terrible, perhaps he lacks every humility towards the piece he is playing, and just thinking about himself, and him playing it and showing off... because he is not out of tune, and not too bad with technique either, but it still hurts to listen to... just simply a horrid performance...
This guy needs to learn how to play in tune.
....yes, it's really astonishing....it sounds terrifying!!!!! ...just BAD soundS!!!
oh dear oh dear, had to stop 1 min in - just terrible
Great technique, good musicality, but this peace sound awfull on recorder... this is only for the show...
Amazing. I didn't think that was possible. lol...
