Chaconne - Bach & Baroque Masterpieces II

The second volume of "Studio M's" Bach & Baroque Masterpieces, titled Chaconne, centers on two works that share the same name: Bach's monumental Chaconne for solo violin-dramatically re-created for solo piano by Ferruccio Busoni-and the joy-filled masterpiece Chaconne by George Frideric Handel.
Originally the name of a Baroque dance, the chaconne unfolds here in two substantial works of approximately eleven and nine minutes respectively. Built upon the repetition of a bass line, the music transforms continuously, expanding with dramatic grandeur. Its weight and intensity may demand focused listening, but for those who immerse themselves in it, the reward is a deep and profoundly resonant emotional experience.
Although piano and harpsichord virtual instruments are used in this recording, we hope listeners will discover in them a distinctive charm-different from what they may usually hear.
