Chaconne from Partita No.2 for violin BWV 1004, transcribed for piano by Johannes Brahms, and played by Jean Rondeau with two hands on harpsichord! One of many flights of imagination on this young musician's debut album IMAGINE. Rondeau describes this feat as "an exercise of squared transcription: violin, the king of instruments in Bach‘s 18th century, transcribed for piano, king
of instruments in Brahms‘s 19th and re-transcribed for harpsichord, to come full circle, back to beginnings, from Bach to Bach, by way of Brahms in a way. And to borrow Brahms‘s phrase, with me at the harpsichord slipping into the violinist‘s shoes."
