Bach-Busoni: Chaconne in D Minor (Kissin)

The famous Kissin performance. The glowing passage at 9:00 is a highlight. Brahms, in a letter to Clara Schumann: “On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind.“
